A320 FAMILY ENGINE START SQUENCE
Hi all bus drivers,
According to Airbus FCOM second engine is to be started after the gray background has disappeared.
I saw on an Airbus presentation saying that the second engine can be started after the first engines start valve is closed. But Airbus is not recommending this procedure.
I am wondering how you are currently performing it ?
We are doing it as per FCOM currently but I am also thinking it might save fuel and time. The only bad side is I think if after the valve closes there is a stall or high EGT and the start is aborted there is no immediate air to crank that engine.
Thanks in advance
