Helicopter Tail Rotor Failures

Reports on a research study which examined the nature and extent of helicopter tail rotor failures, investigated the techniques and technologies that might be employed to reduce their occurrence and/or mitigate their consequences, reviewed the existing emergency procedures and handling advice, surveyed current pilot training practice and simulators, and reviewed the existing airworthiness requirements. The study included piloted simulation-based experimental work.
CORRECTION: Appendix A page 22 contained an error which has now been corrected.
