What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was enroute to Lyons, Kansas (kylo). He checked the weather at the hutchinson, Kansas, airport and obtained VFR weather with light south winds. During the descent, he claims to have visually observed the wind to be a light southerly wind by observing the smokestack from a refinery near mcpherson, Kansas. He requested Lyons airport advisory information on the UNICOM frequency, but recieved no response. Based upon the aforementioned weather observations, he entered the traffic pattern for runway 35. He stated the wind sock indicated light south winds. He continued the pattern and planned on utilizing a short field landing technique, because the runway is 3000 feet long. While on short final, he stated the airplane's glide path would not make it to the runway, so he added power. After adding power, he felt the south wind increase, and he continued past his planned touchdown point. He continued with the landing; his touchdown was further down the runway and his ground speed was increased. The pilot used maximum braking, but was unable to stop the airplane on the runway. The airplane overran the runway and came to rest approximately 75 feet beyond the end of runway 35. Both main tires were blown due to excessive braking, but there was no other damage to the aircraft. There were no injuries reported.

THE AIRPLANE OVERRAN THE RUNWAY AND CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET BEYOND THE END OF RUNWAY 35. BOTH MAIN TIRES WERE BLOWN DUE TO EXCESSIVE BRAKING, BUT THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
