Dick,

No, I have an old Rev 11 copy which shows the same procedure. It does note that
It is recommended to start the engine in IDLE, nevertheless, if necessary, it is possible to start to FLIGHT by setting the ENG MODE switch directly to FLT.
A little ambiguous, since if you start in IDLE (as I always do) after post start checks the last requirement before second engine start is
ENG 1 MODE switch : FLT
Followed by a note:

In the starting phase it is suggested to select FLIGHT mode as soon as possible in order to speed up the engine oil heating
Clear as mud?
