Yes, I think there is a lesson in there for a lot of pilots about wind, power and TR authority awareness.

Many of them forget that the loss of translational lift brings with it an increase in power required for both the main and tail rotors.

Used to see it a lot mountain flying where the extra pedal required came as a surprise!
