And besides "loss of tail" (with loss of CoG) and "loss of tail rotor thrust", you can also experience "loss of tail rotor control". In this third case, you usually will be able to fly along with the help of the vertical stabilizer and then make a running landing on any surface. This can easily be trained. Just get off the pedals and enjoy.


It gets tricky when it comes to "stuck pedal" (either low power stuck or high power stuck).
