How can I prove an Aborted Takeoff for EU261?

I flew on Air France 347 from YUL to CDG on Dec 16, 2024

Departed on-time, then Flight rolled down the runway with engines full blast for maybe 5 seconds then engines scaled back. Pilot announced “got an indication warning light that we were taking off on taxiway–I assure you we were on the runway”. I saw out the window and am sure we were on the runway. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was runway incursion? Pursur said it was their first aborted takeoff in 25 year career.

Got back in line and ended up late to CDG, causing a missed connection.

I claimed EU261 compensation to Air France, and they’re telling me we were delayed due to “extended de-icing”

I’m a novice with FlightAware. Pulled up the track log for my flight, but it just shows takeoff time, no tracking coordinates. I want to show Air France, and perhaps the regulator, the aborted takeoff data. Any ideas?

Thanks for reading

It shows a taxi return using playback feature on the oppositions platform.

Thanks for responding. I have no idea what “the oppositions platform” is or where to find it

There’s more than one flight tracking company/software. Some of the others have ‘playback’ functions available to subscriber level accounts.

But avoiding naming directly which is like walking into burger king and ordering something from KFC menu.
