SUMMARY:Weybridge Branch: The Azores A330 Glider
DESCRIPTION:On 24 August 2001\, an Airbus A330-200 powered by Rolls-Royce T
 rent 700 engines ran out of fuel over the mid-Atlantic and successfully gl
 ided 121 kilometres to land safely in the Azores. This remarkable incident
  will be explored in detail by Martin Maltby FRAeS\, who was Chief Enginee
 r of the Trent 700 engine programme and was closely involved in the subseq
 uent investigation.\nMaltby will discuss the root cause of the fuel loss\,
  the pilots' actions during the glide descent\, and findings from the form
 al inquiry that followed. His unique perspective as a senior engineer dire
 ctly involved in the investigation provides valuable insight into both the
  technical and operational aspects of this extraordinary aviation event.\n
