Here’s an overly simplified steps to start up the engines:

  1. Turn on both Batteries.
  2. Turn on Ext. Power (If available).
  3. Turn on all Fuel Pumps. (When you turn on Ext. Power, you should see Fuel Pump buttons as OFF in white lights. Press them all to turn them on and extinguish the white OFF lights. Engine Generator 2 showing FAULT is normal. This is because while your engine is off, the engine does not supply the electricity, that’s why the Generator is showing FAULT. This will be extinguished once your engine is running and the engine is supplying the electricity through the generator).
  4. Turn on APU Master Switch.
  5. Turn on APU Start. Wait until the Green AVAIL is lit.
  6. Turn on APU Bleed.
  7. Switch Engine Mode selector to IGN/START.
  8. Start your Pushback.
  9. Flip the Engine 2 Master Switch to ON. Wait until engine is stabilised and AVAIL is shown on the Upper ECAM screen.
  10. Flip the Engine 1 Master Switch to ON. Wait until engine is stabilised and AVAIL is shown on the Upper ECAM screen.
  11. Turn off APU Bleed and APU Master Switch.
  12. Then you can continue with taxiing.
