Incident: Singapore B773 at Munich on Nov 3rd 2011, runway excursion

A Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300, registration 9V-SWQ performing flight SQ-327 from Manchester,EN (UK) to Munich (Germany) with 143 passengers and 15 crew, veered right off runway 08R while landing in Munich at about 12:10L (11:10Z) and came to a stop with all three gear off the paved surface. The passengers disembarked via mobile stairs, no injuries occurred.

Munich's southern runway was closed until about 19:30L (originally estimated until 22:00L).

A number of passengers reported in common, that the aircraft touched down unusually hard, veered to the left exiting the runway to the left, then veered right and crossed the runway before coming to a stand still right off the runway. After about 15 minutes the passengers disembarked through the two forward left hand doors, there was no visible damage to the aircraft. The onward leg to Singapore was cancelled, the passengers are currently being rebooked onto other flights to Singapore.

Observer "Flyer" on the ground said the aircraft touched down past the 1000 feet marker but within the touch down zone, veered left beyond the left runway edge onto grass between taxiways B4 and B6, then veered right and went across the runway exiting the runway to the right before coming to a stand still.

Una mia ipotesi: una frenata asimettrica potrebbe aver causato l'uscita di pista sulla sinistra, ed un eccesso di correzione potrebbe aver innescato un "pendolo" con conseguente uscita a destra.
