Retreating blade has to run a higher A of A due to reduced density, therefore retreating blade stall tends to be the deciding factor. Compressibility on the advancing blade, at least initially, causes increased vibration as it flies out of track. Retreating blade stall has a sudden onset of pitch up and roll which makes the effects worse.
