Also on the Dash we do it for the purpose of the mighty quick turn...If we didn't let the engine cool at feather for 30 seconds in all likelihood, especially in the summer, we'd have to motor the engine to bring the ITT down within starting limitations before adding fuel. That's really hard on the starter and batteries even with the APU running. And it's also time limited to 30 seconds which may not be adequate.
