The HH-65 (which is the Dauphin in everything but name and engine) pitches up. Sometimes quite violently.
The collective can only be moved down, unless the pitch up and flight path is a zero-G flight path, in which case the unpressurized hydraulic system has no fluid going to the pumps and the controls are locked until 'normal' flight is resumed.
