## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

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.

REVIEWED 6/5/19.  DZ

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
