Understand that and agree - our discussion yesterday was more along the lines of - if 'brakes off' isn't meaningful, should 'brakes-pressure check' be there instead as something that might be useful? It would be in the same vein as the undercarriage call of 'fixed' or 'down and green' - slight risk of saying the wrong thing in the wrong aircraft but reflecting the type of system in general.

Can you elaborate on which types may suffer from inadvertant park brake selection? I am familiar with Robin (knob and umbrella handle type), Cessna and Piper systems and struggle to see how, assuming you released the brakes properly on take off (which I take it you might notice from performance), you could select brakes on at a later stage.
