Thai A350 briefly off runway at Phuket
The only A350 of Thai ran off the runway on landing in rain.
No one was hurt, but the A350 will need repair.

The 27 ILS is offset and has a relatively high minimum to cater for this and the nearby hills. The visibility on the two METARS is below the minima. Sounds like another OneTwoGo style disaster was narrowly averted. MD82 16/09/2007
N4790P
The only apparant similarity between this and One To Go is the location. Also was there an Airbus TLS pilot up front?
Same runway, similar conditions, pressed on with the approach below minimum visibility. The main difference is the MD82 went into the hills. This approach is offset by 1.4 degrees and doesn't provide the same degree of accuracy to touch down as a normal ILS. There is a noticeable downslope on runway 27 and the surface would have been wet. Required visibility is 2200/2300m CatC/D the METAR states a vis of 2000m.
