Question 1

When is manual starting recommended?

Answer 1

Manual starting is recommended after aborting a start due to engine stall, engine EGT overlimit, or low start air pressure.
ALSO
When expectign an abort start because of :
* Degraded bleed performance, due to hot conditions, or at a high-altitude airfields.
* An engine with a reduced EGT margin, in hot conditions, or at a high-altitude airfields.
* Marginal performance of the external pneumatic power group.
* Intermittent ECAM ENG 1(2) IGN A(B) FAULT alert, during the first start of the day (CEO)

Question 2

Engine Starter Master Fault Light?

Answer 2

M—Malfunction of Thrust Lever
A—Auto Start Abort
D—Disagree Between HP Fuel Valve

Question 3

What is MAX MOTORING in Manual engine start? (CEO)

Answer 3

Maximum motoring speed is defined as the speed at which N2 acceleration is less than 1% in approximately 5 seconds. (Minimum 20% n2)

Question 4

What is MAX MOTORING in Manual engine start? (NEO)

Answer 4

The maximum motoring speed is reached when a significant decrease in N2 acceleration is observed.
Do not attempt start unless N2 is at least 20 %

Question 5

When do you do ENGIEN ventilation or dry cranking?

Answer 5

After an unsuccessful manual engine start, or an unsuccessful automatic start not followed by an automatic dry crank.

Question 6

WHat does ENG FAULT light mean on pedestal? (below ENG MASTER lever)

Answer 6

-The position of the HP fuel shutoff valve is abnormal, or

• The automatic start sequence of the associated engine aborts, or
• There is a malfunction of the thrust contro

Question 7

TL has how many stops and how many detents ?

Answer 7

There are three stops and three detents:
- The Rev Max (F or FULL) stop
- The Rev Idle (R or REV) detent
- The Idle (0) stop
- The Climb (CL) detent
- The Maximum Continuous Thrust (MCT)/Flexible Take Off (FLX) detent
- The Takeoff (TO)/Go-Around (GA) stop.

Question 8

WHen do you see BLEED AIR CONFIGURATION on the E/WD?

Answer 8

They appear:
- On ground, when at least one engine is running
- During takeoff or go-around phase, until thrust lever reduction to the CL detent
- In flight, when thrust rating mode is MCT.

Question 9

AVAIL Indication onE/WD , how long will it pulse after engien start ?

Answer 9

The engine is started, and at or above idle.
On ground, appears steady during 10 s after a successful start. In flight, pulses during 1 min after a
successful relight.
The AVAIL Indication  disappears when the flight crew moves the thrust lever forward the idle
detent.

Question 10

What is REV (green) and REV(amber) on E/WD mean ?

Answer 10

REV in green : On ground, the thrust reverser system is fully deployed.

REV in amber : The thrust reverser system is unlocked.
In flight, the REV indication pulses during 9 s and then remains steady.

Question 11

In MEMO
What does ENG 1(2)
COWL (amber) mean ?

Answer 11

This memo appears in amber, when the engine fan cowl is not closed on ground
