Nope of course not. I was just wondering if I was having a slow moment and missed something and it triggered some more thought in my shell. It is worth pointing out at this point, that whilst the RFM does state that the parking brake can be operated by either pilot, reality states that it is simply not very practical nor easy to do so from the left hand seat due to the ergonomics of the cockpit in that unless you are blessed with the arms of an ape, it is quite a stretch. I believe many operators have recommended that it is only done from the right hand seat to prevent possible back injury due to the left hand seat pilot having to stretch over and pull the lever up.
