Probable cause
The pilot's loss of yaw control during takeoff due to the absence of hydraulic boost to the tail rotor pedals for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information. A finding in the accident was the lack of a caution indicator to alert the pilot of the lower hydraulic system configuration.
