Embodiments are directed to a flight control system for a helicopter comprises a pilot interface configured to receive a control input, at least one electronically controlled actuator, and a computing device configured to translate the control input to an actuator command, wherein the computing device is further configured to apply yaw rate limits to the actuator command to avoid loss of tail rotor effectiveness. The yaw rate limits are associated with a vortex ring state (VRS) envelope for a tail rotor of the helicopter. The electronically controlled actuator comprises a tail rotor actuator. The control input is a pedal input.
