How far should a "tail guard" be stationed from the tail rotor of the helicopter?

The correct distance for a "tail guard" to be stationed from the tail rotor of a helicopter is set at 50 to 100 feet. This specific range is crucial as it ensures safety and minimizes the risk of accidents related to rotor wash and potential strikes from the tail rotor during helicopter operations. Being stationed within this distance allows personnel to effectively monitor and control the area while maintaining a safe distance from the dynamic hazards associated with the helicopter's tail rotor. Proper training and adherence to these safety protocols significantly reduce the chances of injury or accidents during helicopter operations.
