Tail upslope phobia is like many helicopter urban legends. Folks who fly helos with low unprotected tail rotors must watch out, of course. However, the idea that any tail upslope in any helicopter should be forbidden really makes little sense.

With helos that have high tail rotors, and good ground clearance angles to the tail cone, tail upslope should be considered as a possible landing technique, if warrented.
