The Vol 1 says the Captain checks the IGNITION is displayed or not on the [ECAM] memo and announces "IGNITION" or "NORM". Except with anti ice on in a 319/320, it was say "Ignition" regardless of the engine mode selector position, so that doesn't really work for the switch position. Besides, "Heavy Rain/Severe turbulence/Standing Water" are about as common as the times we use Wing Anti Ice, yet we don't add THAT to the checklist. Twice. I mean, what other "maybe/possibly" checklist itmes do we need to add to every day/every leg checklists??? Do we need to add "Engine Anti Ice ___" to the climb checklist? No, because we are capable of assesing and making a real-time decision. Not a fan.
