Delaying landing the aircraft without removing engine power during a tail rotor failure at a hover is exactly the wrong thing to do....in my sometimes less than humble opinion.
I fall back on adage of "Ass, Tin, Ticket!".
The helicopter is a reusable shipping container designed to protect its contents....and can be used for that purpose when needed.
The Boss Fellah can buy another Helicopter.
The Authority can only take your License.
Do what serves your best interest in minimizing injury or death for you, your crew, and your passengers and don't worry about the rest.
An example....had the crew landed immediately upon realizing they had lost tail rotor control and got the Throttles moved back to ground idle or shutoff....they might have avoided going swimming.
If you get hit with a commercial....my apologies but this is the run-up to our Midterm Elections!
