A320-Engine Start Failure (CFM)

The document summarizes a PNF start fault on an A320 engine 2. It notes that the FADEC automatically shut off fuel and ignition on the faulty start. It attempts an automatic restart three more times reducing fuel, and powers both igniters this time. If the engine does not start, the ECAM asks the pilot to confirm aborting the automatic start by setting the engine master switch to off. The document lists the ECAM procedure of not interrupting FADEC actions and notes the fault light turns off when the engine master is set to off. It recommends reviewing the FCOM procedure if time permits and then choosing between requesting maintenance actions or performing a new manual start attempt.
