SIA 777 off the rwy at EDDM
 

A SIA 777-300ER arriving from Manchester slid off the southern RWY at EDDM this noontime. No one hurt and no external a/c damage. a/c still on the grass. Munich ops limited to northern RWY til further notice.

München: Landende Boeing 777 rollt ins Gras - FLUG REVUE

Any idea if it was on the landing roll or did it went off the runway when vacating the runway?

Looks like it happened on the landing roll.

Nose points parallel to the center line. It's off to the south of the southern RWY. There are no taxiways at all on that southern side.

Did it actually slide, or did it just roll off the runway? The former expression infers a lot more drama than may actually have been the case....

No drama. Just check the pics above please. However an unusual stand this time.

In one of those pics, does the OB edge of the RH flap look 100% intact? Or possible damage?

Probably me imagining stuff in a not too clear picture... :rolleyes:

NoD

I was expecting only one bogie or perhaps the nose wheels in the grass, but not the complete aircraft standing in the grass meters away from the nearest piece of concrete.

How on earth did they manage to do that?! :confused:

On the face of it, the wind is not significant, although a lowish cloudbase and a little bit of mist if noon local (1100Z), but nothing serious. Seems like an odd one.

Thank the Lord someone posted a METAR - I was beginning to worry.

I flew in and out of MUC this morning, and it was CAT II for the approach, CAT I when we took off about 50 mins later. Hardly any wind and the surface was close to dry, no frozen patches anywhere. They must have arrived about an hour after we departed.
I wonder what happened...

Some posters on airliners.net are reporting that their relatives were aboard the flight to Munich. The common remark being used is that the landing was on the hard side - whatever that may mean. Read for yourselves, I guess.

Kind regards.

whoops!

As no one was hurt can we have a good laugh and make fun of the crew please?

The 777 was towed off the runway about 45 minutes ago. Rwy expected to have been reopened about 15 minutes ago (18:30).

One poster on another forum looked at the flight tracks. He said it looks like they veered left off the runway, then right and then went off on the grass on the right side. Quite strange...

At the time of landing there was CAT II/III. Fog was lifting at the time.

That would be the same as reported in the German news on the Mercur article linked above. They report that the aircraft got out of control level with the cargo terminal, went left then back across the runway and 10m into the grass.

Hmm, I've had that happen but it will try to put you back on the LOC, not the grass (unless you've already vacated and let go of the tiller...).

The photos *are* rather surreal: 200T+ of aircraft sitting on the grass like it was helicoptered in there... Normally, you'd expect the wheels to have disappeared into the ground and see dirty great ploughed tracks leading off the runway. Doesn't seem to be anything like that here; maybe German spec. verges are stronger than they look?

@ FullWings: as the river Isar is less than 2km to the west, the airport was built on alluvial land. There is some grass for the looks, but underneath it's pretty much all gravel. That does take a lot of weight...

Strange thing all together, though. It will be interesting to read the report.

Anyone knows if LVP were (still) in force?
Automatic rollout around Cat I can be tricky when LOC signals aren't protected (and everybody is doing autolands "to be on the safe side").

JetPhotos.Net Photo » 9V-SWQ (CN: 34582) Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-312ER by kaese2002 => amazing how the aircraft did not sink in. But we've not had rain here for a few weeks...

The plane was pulled out by two Panther 8x8 fire trucks (!!)

TOP GUNS AT MAINLINE
 

it was a matter of time.thankfully no fatalities.here goes another checklist item added on.

SIA mainline has been having some close shaves lately but had been lucky to avert an incident of this nature.
F/O land only in CAVOK less than 5 kts so when they grow up to be captains this training takes 9 months the time taken for a fetus to grow to a baby. no experience is showered on them after their training.

their pilots are brainwashed to fly numbers and not fly the airplane fly like it is in the book (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SOP) and is surprised when the wind shifts or gusts pure robotics.

they bashed the cargo boys as the inferior jockeys.
i hope they learn from this.

4th floor STC must be busy lah
