The tailrotor deprives you of your kinetic energy on a left hand hammerhead.

you have a sightproblem evhust?
The manouver is called a hammerhead. You cannot do it over the left side in an Apache at this level.
Every Dutch Apache pilot can tell you.

Gentlemen,

This Greek pilot made a "balls up" of above manoeuvre.

Please don't let this topic end up in a "furball" of dogfights with all kinds of nasty remarks, answers, etc... :wink:
