circumstances our ground speed is 0mph. If we begin to yaw the helicopter clockwise
90 degrees, we know that through the rotation of the aircraft, we’ll need to introduce left
roll, and reduce forward pitch, as the aircraft rotates to maintain the hover position.

To hover in this scenario
requires pitch forward to
match wind speed and
maintain position
As you yaw clockwise you must
introduce some roll during the
aircraft rotation to maintain
position
When helicopter approaches 90
degrees into the wind, pitch is
reduced and roll increases
because the helicopter is now
flying sideways into the wind
