- Chapter 3: Helicopter Flight Controls › Antitorque Pedals › Heading Control
Heading Control The tail rotor is used to control the heading of the helicopter while hovering or when making hovering turns, as well as counteracting the torque of the main rotor. Hovering turns are commonly referred to as “pedal turns ... cyclic control is used to change heading by making a turn to the desired direction. The thrust of the tail rotor depends on the pitch angle of the tail rotor blades. This pitch angle can be positive, negative, or zero…
