## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) ON 10/11/2006, WHILE ENROUTE FROM BFF TO CEK, THE PILOT DECIDED TO MAKE A FUEL STOP AT FMZ. THE PILOT MADE FOUR CALLS TO FMZ UNICOM WITH NO RESPONSE AND DECIDED TO INITIATE A LANDING ON RUNWAY 30. THE PILOT OCCUPIED THE LEFT SEAT AND DID NOT OVER FLY THE AIRPORT TO IDENTIFY THE RUNWAYS, WIND DIRECTION OR HAZARDS AT FMZ. DURING THE LANDING ON CLOSED RUNWAY 35, THE PILOT STATED THE WINDS WERE STRONG AND DECIDED TO CARRY A HIGHER AIRSPEED WITH FULL FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN APPROXIMATELY 650 FEET PAST THE YELLOW X AT THE END OF THE CLOSED RUNWAY MAKING THREE VERY FLAT OR PRONOUNCED SKID MARKS FROM ALL THREE LANDING GEAR TIRES ON THE FRESH ASPHALT. THE MARKS  THE DISAPPEAR AT APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET FROM INITIAL CONTACT AND NO OTHER MARKS ARE IDENTIFIED FOR 550 FEET.

AT THAT POINT THE PILOT AND THE ONE PASSENGER EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR AND THE PROPELLER.
