There is not one single way to deal with an EFATO. The aim of the game is to keep the aircraft on a safe flight path and securing the correct engine in a timely manner. The FCTM provides guidance how to handle an EFATO but it does not cover all possible scenarios. Let’s say for instance if you initial altitude is 2000 feet and you have engine fire at 1000 feet during climb, surely, you will have to stop Ecam at “ALT*”even if engine is not secured to pull speed and put on MCT detent or clean up the plane and continue Ecam. Remember it’s always Aviate, Navigate and Communicate before Ecam actions. Also if you are doing an EOSID (eg climbing on runway heading), remember to continue climbing until at least to MSA and inform ATC accordingly or request radar vector.
