Was looking at A.net and this link was posted of a 777 swirling of the runway and getting into a stop in the mud.

 

Guess the captain spilled his coffee in his lap :P

 

 

You can hear those tiers scream.

 

Here is a picture of the result:

 

Guess they just wanted to try making a big "S" for Singapore :P

This is the flight I take home every few months I think, Changi to Manchester via Munich or visa versa. Glad I wasnt on it then!

Interesting, I would like to read a report of this one.

This is an interesting one actually.

 

They where conducting an autoland, and a departing aircraft overflying the localiser caused deviations in the signal just as the 777 was about to touch down, causing the autopilot to correct to the affected signal.

Oh my good lord! That could have ended differently, thankfully it didn't. Goes to show how strong and tough aircraft are designed and built

Lucky that they didn't flip over.

watch that

Great, what aircraft can hold out.

watch that

 

Interesting to see that the nose wheel has to touch down before the spoilers are deployed.

Or is it another reason they don't deploy at touch down? They for sure would have prevented a lot of the bouncing.

maybe, hard to imagine, they simply forgot to arm the spoilers...

Watch a few times and you can tell the Speedbrakes wanting to come up but with the aggressive Aileron input they can't go up fully until the control surfaces are some what calm. Don't quote me on it though but that would be my best guess.

 

Arming the Speedbrakes is part of the Landing Checklist,

 

"Gear Down, Flaps 20, Landing Checklist" - I'm not sure on the 777 if it's part of the physical checklist items but the Captain or F/O is meant to do it. Standard on all Aircraft, Boeing at least!

Now when you say it, I see them want to get up.

It sounds reasonable that they should go down if you make an input on the yoke, since if you want to turn right, the left wing ailerons will go down and you will have full output on the right, which will give a nasty result, so you want them to go into neutral when turning with them up.

This is the initial report from the German Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung (facts only, no analysis): http://www.bfu-web.de/cln_030/nn_226462/EN/Publications/Investigation_20Report/2011/FactualReport__11__EX010__B777__Munic,templateId=raw,property=publicationFile.pdf/FactualReport_11_EX010_B777_Munic.pdf

Can't always rely on autopilot!

Reading that BFU Report, it seems that you were spot-on in your assessment. Unless you had read that Report first, I must applaud you for making such an assessment of what could possibly have led to this scenario enacting itself.
