We stopped doing this in 2015. before that we used to do it for the IAE engines. Now only for manual start we use the timer to monitor the light-up duration. On the PW1000 engines we will get an ECAM :' Starter time Exceeded'' if the engine starter time limit is exceeded. The timing is still required for manual engine start tho same as for the IAE.
