Yes the telemetry was brought up on rcu as I made the same post there. The bottom line is monitoring the start is what is important and if your equipment supports telemetry then great. My engines and radio are old by comparison to much of the current stuff and I do not have that luxury. I wonder how many flame outs have happened though in the past due to not monitoring during start up where perhaps a low battery or abnormal pump voltage could have been detected. There is no rule stating you must monitor start up, but it's kind of a common sense thing in my opinion.
