Narrative:

I was pilot flying; hand flying a visual to 16L at den. Approximately on an eight mile final I lost my pfd (primary flight display) and nd (navigation display) for about 5 seconds. Glanced at engine instruments to ensure both engines still running. Glanced up and noticed gen 2 fault light on and stated 'we lost generator two'. The captain concurred and said he would run the ECAM and I would keep flying. The generator would not reset. The captain started APU. Landing and taxi in were normal.
