"It's all in your head", Rotor Torque Autumn 2014


Extreme main rotor teetering or
blade flapping’ becomes a
possibility when:

  • The pilot loses sufficient rotor
    rpm (Low RPM Rotor Stall)
  •  Low ‘G’
  • Over-controlling during
    continued flight in severe
    turbulence, when the pilot tends
    to get behind the helicopter in control inputs, causing those
    inputs to become ever larger.
  • Over-controlling when flying
    fast, and in particular, fast and
    light in turbulence when even
    relatively small control inputs
    can make things happen very,
    very, quickly
