Well, isn't Bell turboshaft powered?
And at C2 you can fly only piston powered aircrafts.
Maybe this is a problem?

yes its turbo powered

also the bell doesn't have any parking brakes so you can't start a flight.

i have heard something about that you can set parking brakes on the heli, in the aircraft.cfg...

Please ?

Adding a parking brake to an heli while editing the aircraft.cfg is a matter of seconds
for any user but keep in mind FsP is not really designed for heli this is why Heli are not
officially supported because I would probably have to rewrite half the code so heli have
specifical code, failure, announce, sound and reports.

Anyway adding a parking brake in aircraft.cfg and disabling some options allow
user to use them without to much problem.

See the FAQ: How can I fly helicopter with FsPassengers ?

Its worked for me before Dan.

Its the same principle of using a float plane. No actual parking brake but you still have to engage the Shift + period to on or off. Just have
to remember to do it

No. You get it only when you set high thrust while on parking prake.

If you're moving then set u will get penalty

If you're still then set parking brake then you move no penalty/
