Is the Xwind TO limitation applicable to all A330 variants or specific to one engine type?
Some years back the RR Trent 700 powered A330 experienced FAN stall in a strong Xwind takeoff with some damage to fan case mounted parts from the resulting pressure pulse. The fix was to revise the EEC software to slow the engine acceleration on take off to allow the aircraft to achieve some forward speed before the engine got into the high power range.
