### Engine Start

1. Begin by verifying the bleed page on the upper ECAM display.
- Crucially that the bleeds on both sides are connected via the `X BLEED` valve and that the `ENG 2 BLEED` valve is closed (indicated by the amber line above IP for engine 2).

3. Ensure that the IGN Bleed PSI for `ENG 2` is at or above 30 PSI before attempting to start the engine.
- It is not unusual on the NEO to see the pressure be at or above 30 PSI at IDLE power. If the pressure is below 30 PSI, increase the thrust of the running engine.
