1. An aircraft tailstrike warning method comprising:
- identifying an aircraft angle of attack,identifying a maximum aircraft angle of attack,determining a dynamic limit of aircraft proximity to tailstrike based on the aircraft angle of attack and the maximum aircraft angle of attack, anddisplaying the dynamic limit as a distance from a reference point multiplied by a scale factor, the scale factor selected such that the dynamic limit is not displayed when the aircraft is at a predetermined angle of attack for takeoff or approach at a first reference airspeed.

Abstract
An aircraft tailstrike warning method includes identifying a first value representing an aircraft angle of attack, identifying a second value representing a maximum aircraft angle of attack, identifying a difference between the first value and the second value, and providing a tailstrike warning when the difference between the first value and the second value is less than a threshold amount.
