A321 flight crew experiences an engine failure at 3;000 feet during approach and elects to go-around...

Narrative:

Outside the OM for the ILS; ECAM advised engine 2 fuel control fault. Almost immediately after; ECAM advised engine 2 fail followed by complete loss of thrust. ECAM then advised facility 2 fail and engine 2 start valve (fault?) we aborted the approach; remained at 3;000 feet and [notified ATC] and requested a pattern back to the ILS to provide time for ECAM and QRH actions and follow up. I was pilot flying and remained so initially; captain followed [the] non-normal methodology; had me continue to fly while he accomplished non-normal procedures. After all ECAM; QRH and follow up actions were complete; including notification of ATC; flight attendants and operations he took over duties of pilot flying for the single engine landing.initial evaluation by maintenance personnel indicated a fuel control failure; loss of fuel feed to the engine causing the rollback and loss of thrust. I would like to say that as a new hire (on IOE during this event) that the initial airbus training program is excellent. Every initial instructor; ground school instructor; simulator instructor/evaluator; and the IOE captains were wonderful to work with; expert in their areas; professional and personable.

Title: A321 flight crew experiences an engine failure at 3;000 feet during approach and elects to go-around to perform ECAM actions and QRH procedures. The Captain takes control of the aircraft for the single engine approach and landing. ECAM had annunciated 'ENG 2 FUEL CTL FAULT'; just before the engine rolled back.

Narrative: Outside the OM for the ILS; ECAM advised ENG 2 FUEL CTL FAULT. Almost immediately after; ECAM advised ENG 2 FAIL followed by complete loss of thrust. ECAM then advised FAC 2 FAIL and ENG 2 START VALVE (FAULT?) We aborted the approach; remained at 3;000 feet and [notified ATC] and requested a pattern back to the ILS to provide time for ECAM and QRH actions and follow up. I was pilot flying and remained so initially; Captain followed [the] non-normal methodology; had me continue to fly while he accomplished non-normal procedures.

I would like to say that as a new hire (on IOE during this event) that the initial Airbus training program is excellent.
