## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ LANDED HIS CESSNA 182 N1389B ON A CLEARLY MARKED CLOSED RUNWAY AT WORLAND, WYOMING.  HE STATED IT WAS AN EMERGENCY BECAUSE HE "HAD TO PEE".  HE DEPARTED MISSOULA, MONTANA WITH CASPER, WYOMING AS HIS INTENDED DESTINATION.  HE HAD NOT CHECKED NOTAMS FOR WORLAND BECAUSE HE HAD NO INTENTION TO LAND THERE.  HE STATED THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE BAR ACROSS THE CLOSED RUNWAY WERE NOT VISIBLE UNTIL SHORT FINAL, AT WHICH POINT HE FIRST REALIZED THE RUNWAY MIGHT BE CLOSED.  HE ALSO HAD BEEN SPEAKING WITH THE UNICOM OPERATOR ON THE RADIO, WHO MENTIONED THE WORKERS AND CLOSED TAXIWAYS, BUT NEVER STATED THE RUNWAY WAS CLOSED.  AT THE TIME ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ACTUALLY LANDED, HE OBSERVED THAT THERE NO OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE RUNWAY ITSELF AND DEEMED THAT A SAFE LANDING COULD BE MADE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
