Well I think these Cat A type departures are not as safe as they could be. There is too much reliance on the tail rotor. They have two engines and only one tail rotor, so should base the technique on risking the engines more than the tail rotor by climbing forwards and into translation lift sooner, instead of loading the tail rotor more and for longer than necessary by climbing backwards...
