R22 tail-rotor pedal failure

[huey]

I teach students who are bracing both feet against the pedals to place their right foot on the floor. Torque in the 22 is taking the nose right, so it’s actually very easy to fly left foot only. Apply left foot/pedal, nose yaws left. Bring left foot/pedal back and Nose yaws right.

Teaches the students that they are being far too heavy with their feet.


So in the case of this chopper, I’d say no problem getting it down safely.
