On 16 July 2023, an Airbus A320 hit a bird at high speed during takeoff from Barcelona. The first officer was the pilot flying (PF). The captain’s airspeed indicator failed at that time but the first officer’s did not, so he called V1. The captain responded with a “stop” call and rejected the takeoff. The aircraft stopped with 600 metres of runway remaining. When the aircraft could not be moved, concern about rising wheel temperatures led the captain to order an emergency evacuation during which 15 passengers received minor injuries. The inability to taxi the aircraft was found to be because the autobrake was still at MAX.
