A system and a method for the automatic starting of the engines of a twin-engine aircraft. When a first engine is made by the pilots of the aircraft to follow an automatic starting procedure, this engine follows the conventional four-phase starting cycle. The rotor of the high-pressure stage of the second engine is spun up for a predetermined duration and to a speed that is substantially constant and less than the nominal value during the starting cycle for the first engine. Once the starting cycle for the first engine is complete, the second engine is made by the pilots of the aircraft to follow an automatic starting procedure. The starting cycle for the second engine comprises just three phases.
