Besides an engine failure in a single engine helicopter, a stuck pedal is one of the more terrifying things that could happen in even in a twin engine machine. You have to think torque, big fan (main rotor) over your head producing lift. The fuselage/body suspended underneath (aka you) wants to spin in the opposite direction. So you have a tail rotor to counteract this force. In most helicopters, the main rotor spins counter-clockwise. So should you lose a tail rotor or have a stuck pedal, you slow down and see which way the fuselage wants to spin. If it wants to spin left, you have a left stuck pedal and if it wants to spin right, you have a right stuck pedal. Left stuck pedal is the more favorable of emergencies to happen. You can keep forward airspeed and land the helicopter kinda like an airplane because you’re applying torque with your collective to stay airborne. Right stuck pedal, the more torque you apply, the more it wants to spin in the opposite direction. Your only real option is to kill the torque, ie your engine and autorotate. You do have a couple advanced techniques to try but I’m not going to mention them here. I have trained my brain for such a scenario, land left and autorotate right. So if you slow down and the nose starts coming Left, you run it on to a runway. If the nose goes right, you autoRotate. This pilot had a load underneath him, a long line carrying something like a water bucket which he punched off. This was not an easy day for the pilot but they pulled off one of the worst case emergencies and will live to tell another tale. 🙏 Audio via ATC
