Incident Summary
During a landing at an airport, a pilot was asked by the tower air traffic controller to perform a "short close approach to runway 34 due to other traffic." The pilot agreed and executed the approach. During the landing roll, the pilot maintained a nose-high attitude, which led to a momentary loss of forward vision. The aircraft subsequently drifted to the right side of the runway and struck two lights.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that the nonstandard approach, combined with possible fatigue from a long day at the Oshkosh air show, may have contributed to the accident. The pilot stated, "The non standard approach and possibly fatigue from a long day at the Oshkosh air show possibly contributed..."
