Stand fast, Nr Fairy, we will protect you from the onslaughts. Show me a pilot who has not had a dozen such stories, most self-induced, and I will show you a liar! We learn from our mistakes, and by examining them closely.

A jump to the left can only occur for the reason that you temporarily had too much anti-torque. Was there a collective pitch reduction in process while you experienced a burst of wind reduction (an un-gust?) while just at the critical 17 knot point of main rotor speed?
