Narrative:

During the takeoff roll, in an aircraft that was 300 pounds. Under maximum takeoff weight, the captain rotated too fast to his target pitch attitude and scraped the tail skid. It caused minor scraping to the tail skid. The scrape could of been avoided if the captain had not rotated at such a fast rate, and had slowly flown the aircraft off the runway.
