The crew might have been anticipating a lost TR, and thus had the helicopter at an airspeed that would keep the nose from cocking/tucking right
I would think that was the last thing on their minds!
"Can you keep xxx knots up and prevent the nose from breaking right with te TR losing drive"
There hasn't been a TR drive failure on the S-92 (prior to this accident) and so no-one can tell you. Any reference to the simulator should clearly be ignored. The incident the other poster dramatically refers to as a "TR failure" was in fact a loss of TR pitch control - an entirely different situation (albeit very well handled by the crew concerned.)
