A recent incident involving a British Airways Boeing 777 has been attributed to pilot error, according to reports. The aircraft was on its takeoff roll when the situation unfolded, resulting in the need for an aborted takeoff.

The error appears to have been caused by actions taken out of habit or muscle memory, which were not necessary at that moment. This highlights how ingrained procedures can sometimes lead to unintended consequences during critical phases of flight.

The specific details of what led to the incident have not been disclosed, but it underscores the importance of maintaining focus and adhering strictly to protocols during all stages of flight operations.
