Can someone please provide a link to the Airbus Industrie A330 accident?
Jet_A_Knight - For some odd reason I cannot find the A330 Toulouse accident report on the BEA website either. There are others available, e.g. The Risks Digest Volume 16: Issue 39, a contribution from Pprune's own PBL. But none I have seen recently mention that the reason, as I recall it, for the low selected altitude on that test point was the request from ATC on the previous landing to restrict the next take-off to 2000ft instead of the 6000 called for in the test plan. As PBL notes, though, it took that sequence to show that the A330 at aft CG might not cope with TOGA and eng fail and low level off.
