A Rwandair Airbus A330-200, registration 9XR-WN performing flight
WB-711 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Kigali (Rwanda), was climbing out of Heathrow's runway 27R when the crew discontinued the standard instrument departure flying on radar vectors and stopped the climb at FL090 due the right hand engine (Trent 772) engine parameters showing an uncommanded rollback after V1. The aircraft burned off fuel in a hold at FL080 and landed safely back on Heathrow's runway 27L about 100 minutes after departure and taxied to the apron with emergency services in trail.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Heathrow about 12.5 hours after landing back.
A listener on frequency reported: "The aircraft was departing from Heathrow's Runway 27R when the engine parameters of the #2 engine became abnormal after V1. The aircraft climbed out on a heading rather than following the SID to which it then went the Ockham VOR to hold. The #2 engine had experienced an un-commanded rollback. The aircraft held for about 80 minutes as it burned off fuel. It landed safely on 27L and followed by fire services to stand 330."
