For those using the matco parking brake, you might add to your starting check list, to make sure its in the off position.
Today I found that its possible for the brake pressure to bleed off if the plane sits for a while. You put your feet on the brakes while starting and you cant apply the brakes for the valve is shut closed. You could move forward with no brakes. I almost hit another plane.
