The BR710 on the GLEX and G 550 also need to "rotor bow" on start within the same time limits. I fly the GLEX and the FADEC does it automatically, but I understand the G550 installation requires the pilots to recognize the requirement and motor for 30 seconds. Sub-idle vibration is quite discernible during an unbow start. Interesting that RR engines require this as I have flown GE and P&W, never heard of it.
