APPLICABILITY : ALL FLIGHT CREW

AFFECTED DEPARTMENTS : FLIGHT OPERATIONS/OCC/ENGINEERING
ISSUED BY : FLIGHT OPERATIONS

VALID UNTIL : UNTIL WITHDRAWN

Subject: Engine Start with Dual Cooling

Reason for Issue:

The notice comprises of flight crew action and system description of dual cooling function for the aforesaid
A320neo (PW1100G-JM) aircrafts
Applicability:
MSN 6772, 6829, 6904, 6946, 7329-7618
Description:
Background-
To face High Pressure Compressor (HPC) bow rotor phenomenon, EEC Motor to Start logic (MtS) was developed
and set-up to protect the engine.
MtS was put in place to harmonize HPC rotor thermal patterns prior starting to idle. It leads the EEC to cycle
Start Air Valve (SAV) to limit N2 up to 12% with a dedicated displayed on DMC COOLING during this sequence.
This protection logic consequently increases engine start times, with operational impacts.
Consequently, the dual cooling function was developed and aims to reduce the overall time to start both engines
on A320neo (PW1100G-JM) by performing the cooling sequence on both engines at the same time when an auto
start sequence in any engine on ground is launched.

The dual cooling function enables that during an automatic start sequence on ground, when the ENG MASTER lever
is set to ON, the FADEC commands the cooling on both engines simultaneously provided the dual cooling push
button is ON.
The flight crew selects dual cooling by pushing the new pushbutton "DUAL COOLING", located on the overhead
panel. Dual cooling on Slave Engine has no impact (no fan rotation). It is similar to a single engine start in terms of
Airport clearance. Refer to DSC-70-90-10 ENG DUAL COOLING Panel. The dual cooling function is available in a
dedicated envelope of use depending on the APU performance, and on engine oil temperature.

Note:
If during the start sequence, ECAM: ENG DUAL COOLING NOT AVAIL is triggered, switch the DUAL COOLING pb-sw
to OFF, and continue with the normal start flow.

Flight Crew Action:

The Flight Crew needs to inform engineering before start that the engines will be started using DUAL Cooling.

FCOM-PRO-NOR-SOP-08
Use the automatic engine start procedure in most circumstances. However, if the start aborts due to insufficient
starter inlet air pressure (e.g. on high airfields, or in case of low pressure from an external pneumatic power
group), it is recommended to use the manual start procedure, instead the automatic procedure.
If, during the engine start, the ground crew reports a leak from the engine, abort the engine start sequence.
Maintenance action is due before the flight.
ENG MODE selector........................................................................................................... IGN/START
The lower ECAM displays the ENG SD page. Depending on the engine thermal state, the FADEC can command an
automatic dry cranking (engine cooling). In such case, when the ENG MODE selector is set to IGN/START, the
indication COOLING is displayed on the E/WD for one, or both engines with the expected engine cooling time
indicated. Refer to DSC-70-80-40 Engine Cooling

DUAL COOLING pb-sw......................................................................................................... AS RQRD

Setting the DUAL COOLING pb-sw to ON enable to arm the dual cooling function: When the ENG MASTER lever is
set to ON, the FADEC commands an automatic dry cranking on both engines simultaneously (if cooling is required).
This enhances the overall time to start the engines when cooling is required. When this function is armed, the
memo DUAL COOLING is displayed on the E/WD.

Note 1: If the DUAL COOLING function is armed, the cooling will be performed on both engines simultaneously. In
such case, the FADEC resumes the start sequence of ENG 2 once the cooling time indication is at zero for both
engines.

Note 2: If dual cooling has been selected for engine start, the FADEC keeps in memory the cooling benefit for ENG
1 provided ENG 1 is started within 20 min after ENG 2 start.
However, in any case, the FADEC commands an engine cooling before ENG 1 start.
A PTU FAULT is triggered, if the second engine is started within 40 s following the end of the cargo doors
operation.
