Aser said . . . .

I really don't like just the feet tips on the pedals, hard to judge but seems that he's late in application.

Aser, I thing not only he might have been late, but he had a tail wind and made a pedal turn to the right, thus leaving the crosswind from the right, he had to stop the yaw rate with power applied to the tail rotor, if he had made it to the left he had the MR torque to help him stop the yaw, the story would have been different, if he had applied pedal promptly, he would have gotten in a tight spot, his mistake was making the pedal turn to the right and putting the wind on the critical side on a 206.

All ENG helicopters are heavy because of the equipment, (Usually the ENG equipment weighs about 400 pounds, but the 407 I flew with the Cineflex and HD transmision equipment, monitors had almost 700 pounds)
