The Senegalese BEA issued an intermediate report reporting that this was the aircrafts second rejected take off in 12 minutes and that both takeoff attempts were rejected at speeds above V1.
Analysis of the FDR suggests that the CG may have been further forward and the gross weight may have been greater than calculated. All aircraft systems worked as expected.
