Narrative:

Our air carrier light transport experienced a tail strike after a good landing and on the rollout. Between 80 and 90 KTS, the aircraft pitched up and became airborne (T-10 ft). It came back down briskly. I suspect the tail strike was caused by wake turbulence from an large transport in front of us. We could not see the large transport on the approach. We were asked for min speed for spacing. Another factor may have been the aircraft load. Though the figures were correct, the cargo load may have weighed more than reported because standard weights are used (as approved by the FAA). I should also point out that this would cause a tail heavy aircraft. The strike resulted in min damage. The speed that the aircraft became airborne and the fact that full reverse was selected leads me to believe the cause was wake turbulence and perhaps a tail heavy aircraft.

Title: TAIL STRIKE ON LNDG.

Narrative: OUR ACR LTT EXPERIENCED A TAIL STRIKE AFTER A GOOD LNDG AND ON THE ROLLOUT. BTWN 80 AND 90 KTS, THE ACFT PITCHED UP AND BECAME AIRBORNE (T-10 FT). IT CAME BACK DOWN BRISKLY. I SUSPECT THE TAIL STRIKE WAS CAUSED BY WAKE TURB FROM AN LGT IN FRONT OF US. WE COULD NOT SEE THE LGT ON THE APCH. WE WERE ASKED FOR MIN SPD FOR SPACING. ANOTHER FACTOR MAY HAVE BEEN THE ACFT LOAD. THOUGH THE FIGURES WERE CORRECT, THE CARGO LOAD MAY HAVE WEIGHED MORE THAN RPTED BECAUSE STANDARD WTS ARE USED (AS APPROVED BY THE FAA). I SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT THIS WOULD CAUSE A TAIL HVY ACFT. THE STRIKE RESULTED IN MIN DAMAGE. THE SPD THAT THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE AND THE FACT THAT FULL REVERSE WAS SELECTED LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE CAUSE WAS WAKE TURB AND PERHAPS A TAIL HVY ACFT.
