It's called Tin Plating, covering the corporate backside so that any problem relating to a lack of T/R response can be blamed on anything other than the design of the tail rotor.

Let them blame LTE, or vortex ring state, or weathercocking, or anything but poor design.

There are very few wind directions which are acceptable, according to the book.

However, comma, in 7000+ hrs in a 206 and 206L I have NEVER run out of tail rotor, simply by keeping a bit up the sleeve and being aware of how fast I am feeding the pedal in and where the spot is where I poke the nose over and fly away.

Look up the many Nick Lappos posts about the under-designed tail rotor on the original machine. The new asymmetric blades have gone a long way towards fixing any problems.
