Man this really was a long time ago for Bend…. I didn’t recognize it at first because of the right traffic for the helicopter. It was Ol’ Peanut Butter Highway that really clued me in
That is a great question! I think it would also depend on how much pedal and what speed/power setting when it happens. And different airframes may have different procedures, but with what I do in the R22, I think I prefer stuck left pedal because the touch down speed tends to be slower and it is easier/safer to go around when low and slow with stuck left, IMO.

WRONG. Left stuck pedal. Rolling throttle OFF would make the aircraft yaw even more left. Your pedals are normal in the video. Left pedal almost always slightly forward than the right. This is how it would be in a hover. Which is why this worked. This is NOT the correct procedure for a real left stuck pedal. Smh.
Thanks for the feedback. OK, lets unpack this... 1> Rolling off - I agree it does bring nose left - but it is only used AFTER the nose has swung past center, to the right, to bring the nose back towards center. (01:54) 2> Pedals are in normal position for CRUISE flight - that is where we agreed the pedal became 'stuck' at the start of the video (00:14). As you spend most time in cruise flight the likelihood of stick pedal occurring at that setting is highest... 3> No, it is not correct position for a hover - that would require MORE left pedal than in cruise flight, which is why it starts to swing the nose right as we come to a hover (not enough left pedal) and we have to roll off to bring the nose back left towards center (01:54) 4> You simulate a stuck pedal (left or right) at the point likely to be used when stuck (low power = right pedal in, high power - left pedal in) - you do not simulate full left or right pedal stuck as you do not normally use full left or right pedal in 99% of flying. Please watch again, referencing my notes and see what you think. SMH ;-)

LOL PB Highway yep.
Which one is worst stuck left or right pedal?

Control the speed gonna help you to be straight
also gonna affect the main rotors drag
Yep speed = vertical fin stability
Awesome demonstration!!!
Thank you
Awesome!
Thank you

@@HelicopterTrainingVideoswhich one is worst right or left pedal stuck?
Right is usually a faster touchdown, so probably more dangerous.
