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.

Sep 25, 2024 · A tail rotor malfunction, like a stuck pedal, means that while the tail rotor itself remains operational, the pilot loses the ability to control or change the tail rotor thrust. This usually occurs when mechanical controls fail, but the rotor continues to provide anti-torque.
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.
