Forgive my ignorance on how the T/R controls work on the 407 and the nomenclature of the components in the system, I did a brief stint on the OH-58D back in 2008 which I think would have had a similar setup as the 407, but I don’t think I ever saw the installation of the controls that is being mentioned here.
Would the emergency procedures still apply if the tail rotor controls were completely disconnected/severed as in this case? Would the effect of this be the same as a “jammed” T/R control?
Or to ask in another way, would this still be a “fixed pitch” type situation, where I would assume the hydraulic servo would drive in one direction or another due to there not being equal pressure applied to the control rod that moves the servo pilot valve?
Thanks to anyone who can clarify, especially with pictures!
