   Is loss of tail rotor effectiveness a risk factor for helicopter accidents?

   • Loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE) is an unstable dynamic phenomenon that affects single-rotor helicopters and frequently leads to accidents. LTE accidents recur with troubling regularity and show no sign of abatement. This work uncovers new data-driven findings pertaining to LTE and risk factors.

   What causes loss of tail rotor effectiveness?

   • Loss of tail-rotor effectiveness (LTE) occurs when the tail rotor of a helicopter is exposed to wind forces that prevent it from carrying out its function—that of cancelling the torque of the engine and transmission. Any low-airspeed high-power environment provides an opportunity for it to occur.

   What happened to the tail rotor?

   • The AAIB’s comprehensive investigation, published Sept. 5, finds that moments after the helicopter lifted out of the stadium, the tail rotor’s duplex bearing—which connected the aircraft’s rotating tail rotor assembly with the nonrotating tail rotor actuator control shaft—seized, disconnecting yaw control from the pilot’s inputs.

   What is loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE)?

   • Loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE), also known as unanticipated yaw, is a distinctive dynamic phenomenon that affects single-rotor helicopters and frequently leads to loss of control resulting in accidents and casualties. In the United States, about 5–10 helicopter crashes occur every year due to LTE.

   Can You Fly a 30 MN helicopter with a tail rotor failure?

   • As the vertical rate will be around 1500 to 2000 fpm, this anyway forbids a 30 mn flight. Not really. The rotor design is to keep the helicopter from not spinning around in circles. The helicopter would most likely spin around and crash. @Ethan. It is perfectly possible to recover from a tail rotor failure.

   Why does a helicopter yaw a lot?

   • Weathercock stability - Wind from the tail (6 o'clock) can cause the helicopter to attempt to weathervane into the wind. The winds passing on both sides of the tail rotor make it teeter between being effective (providing thrust) and ineffective (not providing thrust). This creates a lot of pedal work for the pilot to eliminate unintended yaw.

   Sep 28, 2015 · Yes, it is possible to make an emergency landing in a helicopter should a tail rotor failure occur. The procedure is that same as that of a engine failure and it's called an autorotative landing. Essentially a powerless helicopter becomes an autogyro (gyrocopter) in flight and can be flown as such.

    Pushing her left pedal down, a pilot causes the tail rotor to increase thrust and turn (yaw) the helicopter nose left. Pushing the right pedal decreases thrust (and can even create thrust in the opposite direction), which turns the nose right.
