flee 5 Report post Posted May 3, 2018 Rolls-Royce is reviewing the design of some components of the Trent 700 engine, following a probe into a birdstrike and engine failure involving an AirAsia X A330-300 on 3 July 2017. The A330, registered 9M-XXT, was taking off from Gold Coast airport enroute to Kuala Lumpur when its starboard engine ingested three small birds, causing it to stall and fail. Cabin crew reported a starboard engine fire to the pilots, and the crew carried out their procedures, including discharging the fire suppression system. The crew made a mayday call and diverted to Brisbane airport, where it made an overweight, single-engine landing. The A330 landed safely, and no injuries to the 12 crew and 345 passengers were reported.
