What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft made an approach and landing on a closed taxiway. This taxiway had been used as the runway for takeoffs and landings while the main runway was under repair but was notam'd closed on the day of the incident. After touchdown, PIC used max reverse thrust and max braking to avoid a collision with barricades on the closed taxiway. No damage to the aircraft or injury to the pilots but the saudi aviation investigation bureau ( aib)was notified and investigated on site.
