General Corrective Action:
Complete loss of tail rotor thrust:
Failure is normally indicated by an uncontrollable (by pedal)
yawing to the right.
Reduce power by lowering collective.
Adjust airspeed to 50 to 60 knots.
Use left lateral cyclic in combination with collective pitch to
limit left sideslip to a reasonable angle.
If conditions permit, place the twistgrip in the GROUND IDLE
position once a landing area is selected, and perform a normal
autorotation. Plan to touch down with little or no forward speed.
WARNING
WHEN HOVERING AT ALTITUDES WITHIN OR ABOVE
THE CROSS-HATCHED AREAS DEPICTED ON THE
HEIGHT VELOCITY DIAGRAM (FIG. 5-4), IT IS
NECESSARY TO REDUCE ALTITUDE TO 8 FEET OR LESS
PRIOR TO PLACING THE TWISTGRIP IN THE GROUND
IDLE POSITION AND PERFORMING A HOVERING
AUTOROTATION.
While at a hover: Place the twistgrip in the GROUND IDLE posi-
tion and perform a hovering autorotation.
Tail rotor control failure - Fixed pitch setting:
Adjust power to maintain 50 to 60 knots airspeed.
Perform a shallow approach and running landing to a suitable
area, touching down into wind at a speed between effective
translational lift and 30 knots. Directional control may be ac-
complished by small adjustments in throttle and/or collective
control.
