WRONG ARPT LNDG.

Narrative

MY DAUGHTER ACCOMPANIED ME ON A NIGHT LCL XCOUNTRY FLT TO MERCER COUNTY ARPT WHICH I WAS CONDUCTING FOR THE SAKE OF UPGRADING MY PROFICIENCY IN XCOUNTRY FLT OPS AND PROCS; AS WELL AS FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING ON MORE XCOUNTRY TIME THAT IS NEEDED FOR RATINGS PURSUED. THE FIRST LEG WAS SUCCESSFUL AND TERMINATED BEFORE SUNSET. TO EXPEDITE THE FLT I CHARTED A COURSE WHICH CONSISTED OF FOLLOWING THE YARDLEY VOR 065 DEG OUTBOUND RADIAL DIRECT TO LINDEN ARPT. AFTER TKOF; I INTERCEPTED THE 065 DEG OUTBOUND RADIAL BUT CTRED THE NEEDLE BY TURNING THE O.B.S. KNOB SEVERAL TIMES; PLANNING MY FINAL INTERCEPTION W OF LINDEN. ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS; WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALOFT FOR 30 TO 35 MINS WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WELL WITHIN THE LINDEN ARPT ENVIRONMENT. I SPOTTED A GREEN ROTATING BEACON 30 MINS INTO THE FLT THEN ZEROED IN ON THE LIGHT THUS FLYING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 MINS. CLOSING ON THE RWY I RADIOED MY INTENTIONS. LINDEN' ACTIVE THAT NIGHT WAS EASTWARD 090. I LANDED ON WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THAT ACTIVE BUT WAS IN FACT EASTWARD 110 AT NEWARK INTL. ARPT. I WAS QUESTIONED AS TO MY SIT AND WILLINGLY SUBMITTED A STATEMENT THEN RELEASED. I NEITHER SAW ANY LARGE ARPT TFC IN THE AIR; NOR ANY LARGE PLANE ON THE RWY. I HAVE; SINCE THE INCIDENT; COMPILED SEVERAL MEANS OF RADIO AND NAVAID SYS WITH WHICH I PLAN TO USE IN NAV TO AND FROM THE NON TWRED LINDEN ARPT; AND I HAVE REQUESTED ADDITIONAL NIGHT APCH INSTRUCTION FROM THE FLT SCHOOL. I NEVER PLAN TO LET THAT INCIDENT; OR ANOTHER ONE LIKE OR UNLIKE IT; TO EVER HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENDANGER MY FLT AGAIN.
