I'd suggest that this also is an issue with the rotor brake on/off for start, since Agusta still don't have a simple code line in their software to inhibit start with the rotor brake on.
It's the only helicopter I've flown where the brake pressure (rotor and parking brakes) bleeds off in very short order after stopping the rotors - then the rotor brake will re-apply itself once the rotors start turning again! An ex-compatriate of mine set the transmission of a 109 on fire, on his first day in the job....
Blatantly stupid design, imo, (certainly wouldn't pass an MOT test) but then what do we pilots know about cockpit design?
Even the military Gazelle had a bit of bent wire on the Rotor brake handle so you couldn't advance the throttle with the rotor brake on
