Hey RMK.....that's spot on Mate, & certainly discussion points during training as well as a practical unfortunately some French turbines have a clunk full noise or idle on the twist grip so Your power on for flight or idle/auto, nuttin in-between ie: AS350B3+/eB4, H125, H130T2, I'm sure there's more! Makes tail-rotor problems a nightmare where luck is needed & following her around with cyclic during the run on when she spears off the line You'd pegged
