On 30 July 2023, an Airbus A320 departed Toulouse from an intersection other than the one from which it was cleared to use without the flight crew or the TWR controller noticing the error. The available takeoff distance was 500 metres less than required and rotation occurred with only approximately 500 metres of runway remaining. The crew error was attributed to a combination of “high workload and expeditious mindset, limited attentional capacity, sub optimal performance and confirmation bias”. The failure of ATC to notice the crew error was assessed as a contributory factor which allowed the incorrect takeoff to occur.
