I still am at a loss why we check the position of the ignition during every approach checklist iaw with airbus sop's.
This is off the topic but if it helps, airbus aircrafts are fitted with different types of engines as a matter of fact. Some of'em like V2500 automatically select auto ignition during approach while the others don't. The check list is a generic one and dependable on engines mounted one needs to select ignition manually if required or desired. Hope that helps.
