What happened
Prior to departure, the pilot contacted a Flight Service Station (FSS) and received notification that the first 1,000 feet of the southeast portion of runway 15/33 was closed due to ongoing construction. The flight proceeded uneventfully during the en route phase.
While performing a straight-in approach to runway 33, the aircraft landed on the section of the runway that had been closed. During the landing roll, the left main landing gear struck sandbags. These sandbags had been utilized to secure a yellow strip of material placed across the runway numbers. Following the collision with the sandbags, the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway and collided with a fence before coming to a stop.
A Notice to Airman (NOTAM) effective as of January 7, 1992, had indicated that the first 1,000 feet of runway 33 was closed due to construction until further notice, and that the threshold for runway 33 was temporarily displaced 1,000 feet northwest, resulting in an effective runway length of 4,500 feet.
