Hi all having flown Gazelle and Dauphin C,N,N2 and having trained to experience incipient jack stall we were always told to expect nose up and roll to the right. Having experienced jack stall for real once in more than 14,000 hrs of helicopter flying and that was enough for me the aircraft a 365N did in fact pitch violently nose up and roll to the right. I am told that this occurs because the forward right side jack stalls first because it has significantly more force to overcome when the disc loading becomes excessive ie:- high collective pitch, high airspeed and any excessive cyclic movement. When this occurs you cannot move the cyclic or the collective utill the jack is unstalled by the change in aircraft attitude then watch out for over controlling afterwards. A thorough engineering inspection afterwards revealed no damage thankfully.
