For the moment, my choice is to put both PACKs on as early as practicable:
- no need to evaluate stuff
- recovers all the options that might become available or needed later
- come back from the "green" PROC to a configuration that was assumed when ABN PROC and ECAM designers did their work.
heard of an instance where after and engine failure no damage, smoke started coming out of pax ac outlets, affected pack was deselected.
