CONTROL OF THE TAIL ROTOR. ALTHOUGH THEY WERE CLOSE TO DUC HOA,
WO BEAVERS DECIDED TO GO TO TAN SON NHUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO

BEAVERS THE ALTIMETER AND SURFACE WINDS OF 240 AT FIVE KNOTS AND
CLEARED HIM TO LAND ON THE NORTH/SOUTH PORTION OF THE W-6 TAXIWAY
SINCE THAT WAS THE NEAREST HARD SURFACE TO HIS REPORTED POSITION.

ATTEMPTED TO GET ADDITIONAL AIRSPEED WITHOUT PULLING ANY
