I doubt LTE is really the cause of 1 out of 10 accidents that claim to be due to LTE.

Alleged LTE is more like LTA like the gentleman (HELMET FIRE) above just explained very well, Thank you.

In most cases that claim LTE, the tail rotor will just not have enough power to overcome MR torque, and that is not LTE, it's just a puny tail rotor.

I have done 360 degree pedal turns at a hover, in a Bell 407 with almost 35 knot winds, and the thing will just do what you want it to, but try that in a 206L, and that downwind turn will be so much fun.

Thank you HELMET FIRE for explaining LTE vs LTA
