IAE engines vs CFM engines

Some of Monarch's Airbusses are fitted with IAE engines. IAE engines (as
opposed to CFM engines) will perform a 30 second dry-crank as part of their
automatic start sequence after which igniters are activated and fuel is
introduced into the combustion chambers.

This whole start sequence might take as much as 1-2 minutes per engine.
