What is it called when your left pedal is on the bubble and you are still yawing right? with low airspeed, high gross weight and high density altitude? LTE
kflexer - no its not (well it is, but only by the uneducated), if you do a search you will find Nick Lappos addresses this fallacy at length. If I remember correctly it was a term invented by Bell to avoid liability in the courts when explaining why 206's were crashing. The fact is the tail rotor is just too small to do what is asked of it at times. If you read page one you would have noted that JimBall in post #18 quite correctly said
LTE doesn't exist. It's an ar**-covering invention. The simple correct term is loss of control by a pilot failing to recognise the warning signs.
