TAIL SKID STRIKE.

Narrative

AS FO ON THE B727-200 I FLEW THE LEG FROM SRQ-EWR THAT THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. ON FINAL APCH TO RWY 4R IN EWR AT PLUS OR MINUS 400 FT A LOSS OF SPD OF PLUS OR MINUS 15 KTS WAS EVIDENT. THE SIT WAS CORRECTED AND THEREAFTER THE APCH WAS CONTINUED ON SPD AND NORMAL PWR SETTING TO PLUS OR MINUS 50 FT. APCHING THIS ALT; A HIGHER THAN NORMAL SINK RATE DEVELOPED; PWR WAS ADDED AND PITCH WAS INCREASED IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT A HIGHER SINK AND SALVAGE THE LNDG. THE LNDG WAS NOT VERY HARD; BUT THE ACFT BOUNCED. AT THIS POINT THE CAPT TOOK CTL AND WE RECOVERED. ON TAXI IN; THE TAIL SKID LIGHT CAME ON; AND UPON INSPECTING TAILSKID; OBSERVED TAILSKID DAMAGE; EVIDENCE OF A TAIL SKID STRIKE. I SUSPECT WIND SHEAR RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS INCIDENT; AS AT NO TIME DURING THE FINAL STAGES OF THIS APCH WAS SPD COMPROMISED BY CREW OIL DEV FROM GS. PWR WAS ADDED UPON PROB IDENT BUT; DUE TO SPOOL UP LAG; IT WAS NOT TIMELY ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE OUTCOME. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 284674: FO STARTED FLARE TOO HIGH. SINK RATE DEVELOPED. I CALLED 'SINK RATE' -- FO ADDED PWR AND INCREASED PITCH; BUT TOO LITTLE; TOO LATE. FO NEW TO 727. I WAS NOT AS VIGILANT AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 284657: FO NOTICED AIRSPD FLUCTUATION AND CALLED WIND SHEAR. I NOTICED THE AIRSPD INDICATOR WITH FLUCTUATIONS OF PLUS OR MINUS 5 KTS. THE ENGS DID NOT SPOOL UP IN TIME; ON TAXI-IN 'TAIL- SKID LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DAMAGE TO THE TAIL SKID AND ALSO A NAV ANTENNA.
