Question 274-1 : When right pedal is applied to a hovering helicopter whose main rotor is rotating clockwise when viewed from above. 1 the power required will.......... 2 the helicopter will yaw to the......... ? [ Analysis topography ]

1 increase, 2 right.

. 2404.with a main rotor rotating clockwise when viewed from above, you have to overcome torque by moving forward the right pedal just to maintain the heading while hovering..now when right pedal is applied to yaw the helicopter to the right, more power is required since you must overcome the torque and yaw the helicopter...if you want to yaw to the left, you simply have to release your foot pressure from the right pedal, the torque effect will made the helicopter yaw to the left, less power is resquired. exemple 374 (1) increase, (2) right.
