German Investigators Link Vietnam Airlines Munich Runway Overrun to Captain's Brake Inputs

German investigators found that repeated brake pedal inputs from the captain's seat caused a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 to overrun the runway in Munich on August 15, 2026. The aircraft struggled to accelerate on a 13,000-foot runway, lifted off from the grass at a speed 12 knots below the required rotation speed, and suffered tail and tire damage. No injuries were reported, but the cause of the braking inputs remains under investigation.
