Nick, you may believe that modern helicopters designed to military standards cannot experience loss of tail rotor authority, but I don't. I think any helicopter can experience it, with enough gross weight & altitude. The UH60 that crashed & rolled down the mountain under the gaze of CNN experienced it. Certainly some models have more margin than others, but I don't believe it's impossible in any model.
