On 22 May 2015, a Boeing 777F augmented crew daylight takeoff from Paris CDG was attempted with a thrust setting for an aircraft weight 100 tonnes less than the actual weight after an undetected crew error. Only activation of the tailstrike protection system prevented fuselage contact with the runway and this was eventually followed by the application of full thrust. The end of the runway was crossed at 172 feet agl and the flight completed. The Investigation concluded that the risk of this type of event had been widely recognised for a long time but had not been adequately addressed.
