Helicopter "imcident" question

It may simply mean that the helicopter initially nosed down, and then in a
subsequent overcorrection, the tail rotor dug in.

I'm not sure you'd have the control movement. If the chopper was way nose
heavy you're going to notice as you bring it slowly to light on the skids
that the stick is farther back than usual. I think I'd be setting it back
down
and figuring out why. Reduced control movement in any direction is
not a good thing.

You're missing my point. I'm suggesting that the use of the phrase "nose
heavy" has nothing to do with the actual loading of the helicopter. It's
just some words someone put down on the initial report. They may not be
suitable for taking literally, or even paying any attention to at all.
