Potential problem with autothrust? Is this one you would reject at high speed?
We have one known fact thus far and that is that the takeoff was rejected. The reports of "outcomes" antecedent to the reason for the reject such as "12 burst tires" are not important - they are designed to do that to prevent explosions from pressure build-up due to heat so that is
not news. (Nor is a burst tire in and of itself normally a reason to reject a takeoff).
The statement above regarding autothrust is not an established fact. It reads like a media statement. Otherwise your question about rejecting the takeoff would be easy to answer - the answer would be "
no, one would not reject a takeoff due to a 'problem with autothrust' ".
However, there have been seven incidents on the B777 aircraft where crews have inadvertently engaged the autopilot on takeoff, one occurring just recently. It is a known issue, which, hopefully, FOQA programs are asking questions about.
We must wait for further details.
