Yet another A330 Engine failure for Qatar

well.. seems to be a new trend for this middle east carrier.. DOH-LON sector.. A330 reported to have 3 engines failures during cruise.. in clear air no less.. All failures managed to restart useing the aircraft automation.. but never the less.. a real problem.

it should be said that this does not seem to have any relation to the previous 2 other engine failures in as many months.. one being a dual engine failure. those seemed to be related to WX and or ice.. but this is a new one for QA.. seems to be related to a FADEC problem.

who knows..

Good Job to all involved for a safe result in the end.
