General None Reported / Taken
Human Factors
After a normal approach; fully configured and stable by approximately 1;400 feet; at 400 [feet] pilot monitoring called a little slow (3kts) added a little power. A late flare/pulling too much resulted in a firm landing at normal landing attitude. After main gear on the ground aft yoke pressure resulted in the nose pitching up. No tail-strike indications in the HUD (Head Up Display) or abnormal aircraft feel on de-rotation. On post flight; maintenance found tail strike indicator popped and a slight scrape of paint on tail skid. No damage to aircraft fuselage.Did not adequately account for heavy aircraft; approximately 304;000 [lbs] and high pressure altitude. Late flare or pulling power too quickly resulted in a firm landing. Poor situational awareness immediately after landing lead to late recognition of nose pitch up after touchdown. I feel like a poor outside scan of horizon during flare and subsequent de-rotation allowed this to happen. Fixation on the HUD velocity vector resulted in poor outside scan of horizon.
