Thanks a lot
If you does not leave the ash, it is worthless to try to re-start the engines.You have to turn back leaving the ash behind while completing the QRH procedure. As soon as practical, go to the ECAM to cope with the dual engine flameout procedure. Take a look at the MSA and the obstacles and make your decision on the strategy. Maybe the Vulcan it's not a solitary mountain.
