This is an old feature, introduced in early release of FB. I-15 and I-16 engines IRL had electric and hand crank starter. Many VVS units would, however, remove accumulators from the plane to save weight, so the only way to start the engine was either truck starter, or manual cranking the inertial starter. Both ways would require additional hands, so the I-15 and I-16 in game can not be started outside of an airfield.

PS There is an anecdotal reference, that a skilled, strong and nimble pilot could start the M-25 family engine without someone elses's help, but since this couldn't be done by everyone, things were done the way, it is now.
