What VP said
I have only had one aborted start, for fear of temp climbing into the "expensive" zone. It was around 30% tq and did not register as a flight.
I have watched someone in my machine have a massive flame following trouble starting, and as the blades had moved, one looked to be right over the exhaust port - flame went past that. Very short lived, and nothing on the VMED report. Had it checked anyway, but no problem.
So, yes you can do that, abort the start and have no problem (reported or otherwise).
