So the layman may yet just say it simply ran out of fuel then?
. . only if prompted by people who are too ignorant or lazy to explain the difference between "
engines being starved of fuel", which appears to have been the case, and "
the aircraft/airframe running out of fuel", which was patently not the case. The remaining fuel was enough to get back back to base (albeit below MLA), but was reported as not being in a tank from which it could reach the engines, and it's the reasoning & sequence that led to it that is testing the AAIB, I'd suggest.
