## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-5) AIRCRAFT LOST PEDAL AUTHORITY DURING LANDING. FULL LEFT PEDAL WAS APPLIED WITH INSUFFICIENT CONTROL TO PREVENT A 3/4 SPIN TO THE RIGHT. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TAIL ROTOR'S NEGATIVE FORCE GRADIENT RIGGING HAD BEEN MISSED DURING THE PRECEDING 9,000 HOUR INSPECTION, WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT BEING RETURNED TO SERVICE WITH INADEQUATE TAIL ROTOR THRUST TO SUSTAIN A CONTROLLED HOVER AT GROSS WEIGHT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
