I remember doing the Performance Planning Card and having to know what direction (in degrees) to avoid so we wouldn't get into LTE, and what windspeed it would occur at.

I also remember hovering into Bad Kreuznach in a flight of 5 for the hot FARP and knowing as we made our hovering turns that we would be in the LTE window. Sure enough, when we entered it, the helicopter got into LTE. We ended up hovering at about a 30 degree angle during those turns. Only time I've ever experienced LTE....
