John R81: Can't apply rear cyclic - risk = chop the tail - so "wait it out".
There! you said it! I've been trying to get a concise answer about exactly that topic ever since I got my license, none of the CPLs I talked to could clarify:
Is it normal that at zero pitch & flight idle, full aft cyclic will trash the tail?
There is that US Army video of old instructing about mast bumping. Initially they demostrate how the rotordisk of a Huey (on the ground) will nicely tilt according to cyclic input. I was amazed at the angle that rotordisk can move.
Then there were accident reports of Robbos cutting off their tails inflight.
Okay, both are of semi-ridig see-saw type.
But now you were implying that "emergency strength" rear cyclic on an AS350 rotorhead would chop the tail.
So would I trash my S300-C tail when applying
full aft cyclic at flight idle (e.g. no pitch -> no upward coning)
Nobody warns me about that, the AFM has no restricting as well.
