Never heard of this happening before, doesn't the Air/Ground logic prevent this? (Not my post below) sounds like they where flying the PSS 777...On takeoff from lagos, during the night between 11th and 12th of january, the F-QSQI [ndlr : it must be the F-GSQI] crew initiated a high speed RTO, and the airplane came 900m from the runway 36L threshold.On VR, the captain who was Pilot Flying felt a heavy strength on the controls, and thought about the stabilizer jam. He estimated the aircraft was unsafe to fly.He aborted the takeoff, maximum speed reached was 161 kt, and deceleration was -0,48g.After self taxiing back to the stand escorted by security, 6 tires deflated, brakes were cooled down by firefighters.

glad everyone made it out OK, that could have been bad

So, to put it bluntly, the pilot attempted a post V1 rejection of a take-off because he accidently turned on the autopilot while on the runway?Yow.

because he accidently turned on the autopilot while on the runway?Yow.

Is it even possible, on a such advance airplane ?Benjamin

AP engagement is even possible with airbus, but only under certain conditions

EPR on a B777 with GE engines ?

On the ground, you are sure !? Do you have any source ?Benjamin

EPR on a B777 with GE engines ?

It could have been a 777-200, 200ER or 300 plane, with PW engines

Do you have a link to the original source?Edit: Sorry, thought I had qouted this, but obviously did not, pointed out by Benjamin below. In regards to the "Original" post, do you a link to the original post below.

Whatever might have caused this incident, the logic build into the MD11 will not engage an AP when on ground, but AT only.Even when pressing the dual purpose (AP+AT) AUTOFLIGHT button.Regards,Harry

sorry, Airbus FCOM Vol 1, Auto Flight section

you re right but the Air France 777s : the 228 ER ERF or 328 ER are only GE without EPR indicator ...!!!! this 90B, 94B, 110 or 115 nothing on the PW side.not able to find this incident nowhere do you have a source with real report ? you should have indicated that your souce was PPrune ans radiococo ...see youPhilok i found some french infos and this is the english translation that made an EPR where it was stated GTR (french for Groupe turbo reacteur) ... a bad typo ... seems that the 777 is automated like any other new big liners ....
