Right on.

Look at the simulation I posted earlier (somewhere in the R44 track)

It includes also the control actions, showing as Nick stated that it is not the side ways cyclic you should use, because it will make things worse. Just reverse gently the previous forward cyclic by a gentle backward action, possibly increasing gently the collective. Don't do anything abrupt that makes the heli roll/pitch/yaw because this will make the heli hit the rotor disk.

Nick : I may not agree with you that it is only pilot induced. Flying too low over mountain ridges may create powerfull sudden down drafts that put the heli in a 0.5 g or less position.
