B737 gross over-run accident. Time overdue to fix the simulator syllabus.

Report on the overrun of this B733. Seems like an exact copy of the Garuda B734 fatal overrun in Jogjakarta. A very interesting read. These sort of accidents will continue unless there is a radical change to the simulator training syllabus. Rather than just learn stabilization criteria by rote, there is a strong case to include a physical demonstration by the instructor of the dangers of ignoring stabilized approach criteria.

Set up a deliberate unstable approach (for example high sink rate, low or high airspeed from five miles out leading to hard landing or excessive float and a gross over-run. Easily demonstrated by a competent instructor . A picture is worth a thousand words. Then if it happens on line, the pilot will recognise whats happening from previous experience in the simulator and take appropriate corrective action
Incident: Solitaire B733 at Aqaba on Sep 17th 2017, runway excursion on landing
