Narrative:

All aspects of the flight were normal with the exception of the landing in bgr. Bgr was exceptionally good. The sky was clear, visibility was greater than 15 mi and the winds calm. First officer did a visibility approach to runway 33. Runway 33 is 300' wide and 11450' long. First officer aimed for and descended normally to the 1000' aim point. First officer began his flare at a normal altitude. He held the aircraft off the ground in an effort to make a smooth landing. I was monitoring aircraft attitude during flare and at 10 degrees called, 'attitude.' first officer continued to flare and I again called, 'attitude,' and commanded, 'do not flare anymore.' we landed. The landing was smooth. After landing maintenance came aboard and told us we had touched the tailskid and also damaged the APU fuel shroud drain, and waste water drain mast. No damage was done to the aircraft fuselage. The tailskid was not replaced. I believe the wider than normal runway may have affected first officer's depth perception. Real cause of the incident was first officer's disregard of cockpit callouts. I recommended additional training for first officer, which was completed 3 days after the incident.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR HAS TAIL STRIKE ON LNDG.

Narrative: ALL ASPECTS OF THE FLT WERE NORMAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LNDG IN BGR. BGR WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. THE SKY WAS CLR, VISIBILITY WAS GREATER THAN 15 MI AND THE WINDS CALM. F/O DID A VIS APCH TO RWY 33. RWY 33 IS 300' WIDE AND 11450' LONG. F/O AIMED FOR AND DSNDED NORMALLY TO THE 1000' AIM POINT. F/O BEGAN HIS FLARE AT A NORMAL ALT. HE HELD THE ACFT OFF THE GND IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE A SMOOTH LNDG. I WAS MONITORING ACFT ATTITUDE DURING FLARE AND AT 10 DEGS CALLED, 'ATTITUDE.' F/O CONTINUED TO FLARE AND I AGAIN CALLED, 'ATTITUDE,' AND COMMANDED, 'DO NOT FLARE ANYMORE.' WE LANDED. THE LNDG WAS SMOOTH. AFTER LNDG MAINT CAME ABOARD AND TOLD US WE HAD TOUCHED THE TAILSKID AND ALSO DAMAGED THE APU FUEL SHROUD DRAIN, AND WASTE WATER DRAIN MAST. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE ACFT FUSELAGE. THE TAILSKID WAS NOT REPLACED. I BELIEVE THE WIDER THAN NORMAL RWY MAY HAVE AFFECTED F/O'S DEPTH PERCEPTION. REAL CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT WAS F/O'S DISREGARD OF COCKPIT CALLOUTS. I RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL TRNING FOR F/O, WHICH WAS COMPLETED 3 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT.
