At flight rpm one day (col friction on) just prior to t/off I was distracted by something a pax was doing behind me that needed my full attention, I was leaning around to the right as far as pos whilst waving my right arm frantically (AS350 right hand doors off on a fuel soaked timber pad) the chopper yawed about 30" and nearly off the pad, I hadn't realized in turning to the right I had used pressure on my right foot to do so.

Traps for the young and foolish not so, if your not looking up its hard to tell what the movement your feeling is, and if its sudden and unexpected what to do about it
