On 16 July 2023, an Airbus A320 hit a bird at high speed during takeoff from Barcelona. The PM Captain’s air speed indicator failed at that time but the First Officer’s did not so he called V1. The Captain responded immediately with a “stop” call and took the necessary action after which 600 metres of runway remained. When the aircraft could not be moved, concern about rising wheel temperatures led the Captain to order an emergency evacuation during which 15 passengers were injured. The inability to taxi the aircraft was found to be because the autobrake was still at MAX.
