SMA LANDS LONG AND GOES OFF END OF RWY.

Narrative

AFTER A LONG DAY OF BUSINESS; I WAS MAKING A FLT TO OMAHA; NB; MY HOME; FROM DECATUR; IL. AS I NEARED THE OMAHA ARSA; ATIS ADVISED THAT THE RVR FOR RWY 14R WAS BELOW MINS DUE TO FOG. UPON CONTACT WITH OMAHA APCH; I WAS ADVISED THAT CONDITIONS HAD DETERIORATED BELOW THOSE DESCRIBED BY ATIS; AND WAS ADVISED THE MILLARD FIELD; IN SW OMAHA WAS VFR. I ADVISED APCH CTL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT THE N OMAHA ARPT (3NO) TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS VFR. ANOTHER PLT ADVISED THAT HE COULD SEE 3NO WAS VFR; SO I ADVISED APCH CTL I WOULD LIKE TO GO THERE. THE CTLR PROVIDED VECTORS. AS I NEARED 3NO; I ASKED FOR; AND RECEIVED A VECTOR OF 180 TO THE ARPT. I CALLED UNICOM FOR AN ARPT ADVISORY; BUT RECEIVED NO ANSWER. I FLEW OVER THE ARPT; SAW THE RWY CLRLY AND CHKED THE WINDSOCK; WHICH SHOWED A VERY LIGHT BREEZE FROM THE S; FAVORING RWY 17. I ADDED 20 DEGS OF FLAPS ON BASE; AND THEN BEGAN THE TURN TO FINAL. ON FINAL; I ADDED FULL FLAPS; AND THINGS LOOKED AS IF THEY WERE WORKING OUT WELL FOR LNDG. I HAD NOT LANDED AT THIS ARPT BEFORE; BUT BECAUSE IT IS CLOSE TO MY HOME; I HAVE OBSERVED AIR OPS THERE FOR 2 YRS. THE APCH END OF RWY 17 IS APPROX 5 FT LOWER IN ELEVATION THAN THE TERRAIN IMMEDIATELY TO THE N. THE ARPT PROPERTY IS SEPARATED FROM THIS HIGHER LAND BY A WIRE FENCE 3-4 FT HIGH. I WAS CONSCIOUS OF THE NEED TO CLR THIS OBSTACLE; AND STAYED HIGHER THEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. AS A RESULT; I PULLED PWR BACK TO IDLE; AND TOUCHED DOWN GENTLY; BUT TOWARD THE END OF THE FIRST THIRD OF THE RWY. I BEGAN HARD BRAKING; AND AFTER SEVERAL MOMENTS; I BEGAN TO DOUBT MY ABILITY TO STOP THE PLANE BEFORE REACHING THE END OF THE RWY. I CONTINUED HARD BRAKING; AND THE PLANE CONTINUED OFF THE DEP END OF THE RWY; DOWN A SMALL EMBANKMENT; AND CAME TO A STOP; 85 FT FROM THE END OF RWY. THE ACFT'S NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED; AND ONE BLADE OF THE PROP WAS BENT; WHILE THE OTHER BLADE WAS SCRAPPED. NO ONE WAS INJURED; AND OTHER THAN THE AIRPLANE; NO PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED. MY JUDGEMENT AS PLT WAS AFFECTED BY FATIGUE. I HAD BEEN AWAKE FOR ABOUT 17 HRS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT; AND HAD JUST COMPLETED A 4 HR FLT. IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 8 HRS SINCE MY LAST MEAL; AND 4 HRS SINCE MY LAST FLUID INTAKE. RWY 17 AT 3NO IS A SHORT STRIP (2480 FT) AND BY CHOOSING THIS ARPT OVER MILLARD; I WAS ASKING A GREAT DEAL OF MY PLTING SKILLS AT A TIME OF DAY WHEN I WAS LEAST ABLE TO DELIVER. MY JUDGEMENT WAS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN; AND FATIGUE WAS A FACTOR. 3NO WOULD BENEFIT BY SOME FORM OF VISUAL APCH SLOPE INDICATOR. I AM CERTAIN THAT HAD SUCH A DEVICE BEEN AVAILABLE; I WOULD HAVE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
