A320 xxx 1+2 OFF then ON (together or separate?)
Any A320 expert to tell me if there is a difference between xxx (i.e FAC) 1 AND 2 OFF then ON vs. 1 OFF/ON then 2 OFF/ON? It seems that on at least the Rudder Trvl Lim Sys fault, the ECAM calls for 1+2 but the FCOM wants it done separately....

I would prefer FAC 1 OFF/ON then FAC 2 OFF/ON... so that you always have a FAC switched on! That is what FCOM 3 asks for .. I have always understood that ECAM follows FCOM 3, have you seen something different, perhaps in a simulator?

The ECAM in the sim shows a single line "FAC 1+2 .........OFF then ON"
It does not seem to make a practical difference (at least in this case) but it would be good to know that the ECAM tells us the correct thing here.

How old is the sim? Maybe an outdated FWC std.
In some old sims, dual computer resets are displayed on a single line. "Being understood" that one computer should be reset after the other.
But definitely, one computer at a time in that case.
