Damn, you are talking about a design from 2012 correct?
Even 60 years old S300Cs have peerless throttle correlators (no closed loop, but working very fine).
How can BARALT hold drop out except for clogged static port?
I can understand that RADALT can do funny thing when over water or crossing a dropoff,
but BARALT hold should be super reliable, except maybe when close to mining explosion with noticeable shock wave.
And what is a "wrong pedal takeoff" in an AW169 ?
Its MR turn Bell-style, so even non-metric pilots from overseas should feel at home.
