LANDED ON A KNOWN CLOSED RWY DUE TO HIGH WIND CONDITIONS.

Narrative

RETURNING FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT MISSION; WINDS AT HOME AIRFIELD WERE GUSTING TO 30 PLUS KTS; AT AN ANGLE PERPENDICULAR TO THE ONLY 'OPEN' RWY. THE XWIND COMPONENT EXCEEDED THE 'DEMONSTRATED LIMITATION' OF MY ACFT. I CHOSE TO LAND ON A RWY -- CLOSED; BUT IN-LINE WITH THE STRONG WINDS. SEVERAL FACTORS 'FORCED' THAT DECISION: I KNEW THE RWY WAS IN FINE SHAPE AND OF ADEQUATE LENGTH. I HAD BEEN TOLD THAT THE ARPT MGR HAD PREVIOUSLY CLOSED THE RWY FOR REASONS HAVING TO DO WITH A TRAINING ACFT MISHAP; AND THAT THERE WAS NO REAL LEGITIMATE REASON TO DO SO. NOT A WK EARLIER; WHILE FLYING WITH A SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPERIENCED PLT; WE HAD PLANNED TO DO THE SAME THING (LAND ON THE CLOSED RWY); IN THE EVENT THAT WIND SPD REMAINED HIGH. THERE WAS AN OPERATIONAL NEED TO RETURN THE ACFT TO OUR FACILITY. THE NEAREST ARPT WITH A SUITABLE RWY WAS A MAJOR FIELD; DIFFICULT FOR OUR HOME- BASED CREW TO ACCESS THAT DAY; IN TERMS OF RETRIEVING US. THE DECISION TO LAND ON THE CLOSED RWY WAS MADE EARLIER IN THE FLT; WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF MY COPLT (A LESS EXPERIENCED PLT). I ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS ON UNICOM; 10 MINS OUT; AND SOUGHT TO CONTACT THE ARPT MGR BY RADIO; WITH NO LUCK. I OVERFLEW THE FIELD TO ENSURE THE RWY'S CONDITION; AND THEN WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY; SET THE PLANE DOWN. THE WINDS WERE A BEAR! PROBABLY THE ONLY 'SYSTEMATIC' ASPECT TO THIS CONCERNS THE RWY CLOSING PROCESS. THE ARPT MGR WHO IS KNOWN TO BE BASICALLY 'GOOFY' CLOSED THE RWY FOR A REASON I THOUGHT WAS RIDICULOUS. STILL; I SHOULD HAVE JUST GONE ELSEWHERE IN RETROSPECT. I HAD ENOUGH GAS.
