Incident Overview
A pilot experienced a runway overrun while landing at an airport, resulting in damage to the aircraft. The pilot reported that as he approached the airport, the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) frequency indicated that Runway 35, the shorter of the airport's two runways, was active. He radioed the tower controller and requested to use the longer runway, but by the time the controller responded, the pilot had already entered the traffic pattern for Runway 35. The pilot decided to remain in the pattern and land on Runway 35.
Sequence of Events
The pilot stated that during the landing, he touched down long and subsequently overran the runway. After departing the runway surface, the aircraft's left landing gear collapsed, and the left wing struck the ground. The aircraft came to rest in soft dirt near the airport boundary fence. No additional details about the number of occupants or injuries were provided in the report.
Aircraft Damage
The aircraft sustained damage to the left landing gear and left wing as a result of the overrun and subsequent impact with the ground. The report did not specify the extent of the damage or the aircraft type or registration.
