Very simple on the 505. If the pilot and copilot switches are set to idle, the aircraft will startup to idle or reduce to idle if infight (For a Training autorotation). If either collective switch is set to “FLY”, the RPM goes to 104%. The rpm increase is quick coming up and tightly governed at the top.... slowish to decay at flat pitch due to heavy 206L rotor. Couldn’t be much simpler or safer....
