A helicopter with blades going the US way has a tail rotor failure. On setting up for a normal approach, as speed is reduced the nose yaws to the left. This indicates a failure in a high power setting and the nose will come back to the right as power is applied at the bottom, allowing a fairly slow run on, or perhaps a hover.
Flight Manual advice advocates a wind from the right to assist. This is the bit that I can't get my head around. I would have thought a wind from the left would be better in helping to prevent the nose from going too far to the right.
