Tailrotor failure - is it always unrecoverable ?

Gullible,

In a 212/412/58T.....rolling the throttles back manually achieves the same thing as I recall. No need to move either/both Gov Sw’s.

If the nose comes around to the right(Left turning rotor systems).....accelerate using power you need and repeat the process...till no scratch/dent landing is accomplished.

What about if you ask the front seat passenger to jump out?

Please jump out!

Fair enough...point being, some helicopters don't have twist grip throttles or pilot option to control power/RRPM independent of collective position.

I always preferred an aft cog for that reason and some other considerations.
