Obviously any fitting of blade tape would have to be approved.

Blade tape affects autorotative RPM and blade performance.

It can bring problems of it's own i.e asymetric loss of tape.

On a light blade it might affect the fatigue characteristics.

All these issues would have to be addressed before blade tape was approved.
