enter a new flight number thru the MCDU (at least one dummy
character is sufficient).

(1) Obey wind limitations and safety precautions during engine ground
operations (Ref. TASK 71-00-00-869-005) (Ref. TASK 71-00-00-869-006).
(2) Put the CHOCK - MLG, ENGINE RUN-UP (98F10103500000) in position.
(3) Make sure that the engine inlet and exhaust covers are removed. Also,
look at these areas to make sure that they are clear of unwanted
objects.
(4) Make a visual check of the temperature sensors, fan inlet, and
exhaust areas. If snow or ice has collected in the fan duct, make
sure that the fan turns freely. Also, make sure that the engine
inlet, inlet lip, fan, spinner, and fan exhaust duct are clear of ice
or snow. If the fan does not turn freely melt the ice or snow with
hot air before an engine operation.
(5) Look at the general condition of the fan spinner and fan blades,
core exhaust nozzle, LPT and external surfaces of the cowls.
(6) Make a check of the drain ports for fuel, oil and hydraulic leaks
(Ref. TASK 71-00-00-790-002). Also make sure that fuel drained from
the engine does not cause a fire.

NOTE : In case of extreme cold weather condition (OAT < -20 deg.C),
fuel leaks from the drain may occur and should not be considered
as abnormal. Therefore, check for fuel leaks at the drain mast
shall be performed with the engine fully stabilized at idle.

4. Procedure
Subtask 71-00-00-710-15000-001
A. Do this test:
WARNING : AFTER AN ABORT OF THE ENGINE STARTING SEQUENCE, ALWAYS PUT THE
"ENG/MASTER" SWITCH BACK IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
IF YOU ONLY CHANGE THE POSITION OF THE ENGINE MODE SELECTOR SWITCH
(FROM "IGN/START" TO "NORM"), THE FADEC SYSTEM WILL NOT COMPLETE THE
ABORT. THERE IS THUS A RISK THAT THE ENGINE WILL START. THIS CAN CAUSE
INJURIES TO PERSONS.

CAUTION : DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IF THE FUEL INLET PRESSURE IS NOT POSITIVE
(THE FUEL IS NECESSARY TO LUBRICATE THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP AND THE HMU
AND THUS PREVENT DAMAGE).

CAUTION : MONITOR THE START CYCLE VERY CAREFULLY WHEN THE STARTER AIR INLET
PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN RECOMMENDED (SPECIAL OPERATION CONDITIONS).
THIS CAN CAUSE LONGER TIMES TO GO TO IDLE AND HIGHER EGT PEAKS.

NOTE : When the pack valves start to close the FAULT legend of the AIR COND
PACK 1/2 pushbutton switches on the AIR COND panel 30VU come on until
the pack valves are fully closed.
NOTE : The engine operates at a stabilized ground idle only when there is a
positive oil pressure indication.
High oil pressure peaks can occur in cold weather because of high oil
viscosity. The pressure decreases as the temperature of the oil
increases.
Ignition automatically starts at 16 percent N2 and the fuel
automatically starts at 22 percent N2. The starter and the ignition
automatically stop at approximately 50 percent N2.
Engine light-off usually occurs at approximately 10 seconds after
you beginning of the start attempt (starter shutoff valve open) and
within 2-3 seconds after the FADEC reflects the fuel on.
If the engine light-off does not occur within 10 seconds (15
seconds for extreme cold conditions), the FADEC system
automatically stops the ignition, the fuel flow, and dry motors the
engine for 30 seconds.
Twenty-five (25) seconds into the dry motoring time, the FADEC
systems energizes the two igniters and at 30 seconds, selects
the fuel to on.
If when you tried to start the engine for the second time there is
no light-off within 10 seconds (15 seconds for extreme cold
conditions), the FADEC system automatically stops the two igniters,
the fuel flow and the starter. There is a dry motoring of the
engine during after which the FADEC system will select a start
abort. This will cause a start abort indication to come on on the
upper ECAM display unit.
If this occurs, on the ENG panel 115VU:
- Set the ENG/MODE/CRANK/NORM/IGN/START selector switch to NORM.
- Set the ENG/MASTER 1(2) control switch to OFF.
- After the starter is cool, the operator must make a decision:
try another auto or manual start or stop and correct the
problem.
3. When the engine idle speed is
stable, on the ENG panel
115VU:
- Set the
ENG/MODE/CRANK/NORM/IGN/START
selector switch to NORM.
NOTE : It is recommended that the engine operates at or near idle for a
minimum of 2 minutes before you increase to high power. You must move
the throttle control lever, slowly, carefully and smoothly when
possible.
NOTE : You can use taxi time at or near idle as part of the 2 minute warm-up
time.

5. Close-up
Subtask 71-00-00-869-23200-001
A. At the end of the test stop the engine(s) (Ref. TASK 71-00-00-710-028).
(1) On the overhead CTL & IND panel 25VU:
(a) Set the EXT LT/BEACON switch to OFF
(2) Stop the pneumatic supply to the aircraft:
(3) Disconnect the HP ground power unit or stop the APU.
