Tail strike mitigation devices and related methods are disclosed herein that can prevent or mitigate a tail of an aircraft from striking a runway surface when landing or taking off, including when landing on or taking off from a semi-prepared runway. Tail strike mitigation devices of the present disclosure can extend, for example, from a bottom surface of the fuselage of the aircraft at a tail of an aircraft and/or can include a tail skid with a large contact surface area, as compared to conventional tail strike devices. The tail skid can have a high flotation impact surface. The tail skid can be moved between retracted and deployed positions, and can be oriented at a range of angle relative to at least one of the landing surface and/or the bottom surface of the fuselage.
