On the CFM, you have 15 sec maximum after you got the fuel flow to get an N1 and EGT increase.
Most people start the timer once the ignition starts, which makes no sense.
It is not SOP as everything is controlled by the FADEC and in case of a manual engine start the sequence is not the same (first you reach maxi motoring speed then you put the eng master on).
