Crab: according to the FAA Helicopter Flying Handbook, page 2-23:

This vibration happens at an airspeed just below ETL on takeoff and after passing through ETL during landing. The vibration happens close to the same airspeed as ETL because that is when the greatest lift differential exists between the front and rear portions of the rotor system. As such, some pilots confuse the vibration felt by transverse flow effect with passing through ETL.
