As soon as the ENGine MASTER control switch is set to ON position,
the Low Pressure (LP) fuel SOV opens and the ECU opens the starter
SOV. The position of this valve is confirmed on the ECAM and the N2
begins to increase.
When N2 reaches 16% the ECU provides ignition. The selection of the
spark igniter is a function of the ECU and at each start the igniter selection
will be changed.
At 16% of N2, on the ENGINE page, the corresponding spark igniter
system (A) chosen by the ECU is displayed.
When N2 reaches 22% the ECU controls, through the Fuel Metering

flow begins.
The ECU monitors the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) and N2 according
to their schedules to provide the correct fuel flow. The maximum EGT
during start sequence is 725º C.
In case of malfunction the ECU automatically shuts down the engine and
performs a dry motoring sequence.
Up to 50% N2, the automatic fuel flow regulation is performed. At 50%
N2, the ECU closes the starter SOV and cuts off the ignition.
The pack valves re-open if another engine is not started within 30 seconds.
Engine 2 is now stabilized at minimum idle.
