Ok Vortex, tell me you are flying a 206... :smilewink:

LTE is just an excuse for tail rotor too small, with 10-30knots I'm more than happy in the 412 or 139.

It's true that you need to keep an eye on the tq when using pedals but that's all. Another thing is when you get yourself turning around in a 206 without using all the power and your foot is on the floor, that is just a bad tail rotor design.

 

LTE is a myth.

Correctomundo!

 

But don't argue with Bell about it!

 

I don't fly a 206, it's an R44 actually so I have plenty of tail rotor authority. I'd love to be flying a 412 and 139, nice :thumbup:

 

I use the term LTE as it's simply easier to type than "an uncommanded yaw to right".

 

Tub Matheson gives a great presentation on the subject. He was the test pilot for the US army along with Bell when they where trying to figure out why all the 206's kept crashing and find out what is the best control inputs to recover.
