Sassy,
The lady repeated the mantra "ALL single-rotor helicopters are susceptible to LTE" - doesn't mean it's true. Check what Nick says.

The video then goes on to describe how the pilot stuffed up an approach, coming in downwind, 100% torque, pedal on the stops, RPM drooping, and he calls it "UNANTICIPATED YAW"??!!

What kind of idiot would NOT anticipate yaw in that situation. This video is plain and simple, loss of pilot awareness, running out of pedal. But call it LTE and suddenly it is not your fault. (Cue the mantra)

If LTE existed, it would be a snap yaw while the pedals are nowhere near the stops.
