The horn for Rotor Overspeed does not call for collective reduction, so you shouldn't immediately reduce collective for any horn, as you say.

Do you even read your RFM?

You guys are seriously overreacting to this.

Rotor overspeed, increase collective.
Rotor underspeed, decrease collective.

There's a different horn for each and they both need to be instinctually reacted to VERY fast.

Since the days of Sikorsky's successful flight of the VS-300 those control input requirements have never changed.

With high inertia rotors there is a little more leeway in the reaction time, but not a ton.

Be professional pilots and know your craft.
