Didn't know it could happen to the right. The pitch up is (I am led to believe) caused when there is not enough fwd stick remaining to counter flapback at high blade pitch angles caused at high DA/AUW/IAS combinations, even with a servicable SPAS. Can anyone can verify this?? Lowering collective fixes the condition, but not after you lose 40-50 knots and 10-20 years off your life (double this at night). Does this happen on the EC145?
