SMT STRUCK RAISED ARRESTING GEAR ON LNDG. ACFT DAMAGE.

Narrative

APCH IN USE WAS THE ILS RWY 15. I WAS FOLLOWING LOC AND GS DOWN WHEN I NOTICED AN ARRESTING CABLE STRETCHED ACROSS RWY 15. BY THE TIME IT WAS NOTICED; I WAS ALREADY IN THE FLARE AND ACFT PROCEEDED TO HIT THE CABLE. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO NOSEWHEEL OF ACFT. PREFLT PLANNING THROUGH FLT SVC SHOWED NO NOTAMS ON AN ARRESTING CABLE ACROSS RWY 15. THE APCH PLATE SHOWS AN ARRESTING CABLE SYMBOL LOCATED AT THE END OF RWY 15; NOT 1200 FT DOWN THE RWY WHERE IT IS ACTUALLY PLACED. FURTHERMORE; THIS CABLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RWY MARKINGS TO OUTLINE ITS EXISTENCE AS PRESCRIBED IN THE AIRMAN'S INFO MANUAL. THE ONLY OTHER PLACE I COULD FIND INFO ON THIS CABLE WAS IN THE ARPT FACILITIES DIRECTORY. EVEN THEN; THERE WAS NO MENTION OF A DISPLACED THRESHOLD (OF WHICH THERE IS NONE) OR OF A DANGER IN ROLLING OVER THIS CABLE. FBO OPERATORS SAY THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE HAPPENS 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH. CAN CHS GET 1) PROPER RWY MARKINGS; 2) PROPER DISPLACED THRESHOLD OR; 3) PROPER NOTAMS. MY REASON FOR FILLING OUT THIS FORM IS TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM A RECKLESS VIOLATION ON MY CERTIFICATE.
