ERA10CA030

The pilot reported that he approached the airport during night conditions and was told by air traffic control to expect runway 29. He glanced at the approach chart and noted the runway was more than 4,400-foot-long, but learned after the accident that it had a displaced threshold resulting in 3,164 feet being available for landing. He entered the downwind leg, then turned onto base leg when the controller requested he proceed direct to the numbers at the best forward speed. The pilot elected to land with no flaps and while on final approach, was advised by the controller to expedite through the intersection of runways 11/29 and 16/34. The airplane touched down past the runway intersection, which at the center has approximately 2,854 feet runway remaining to the departure end of runway 29. In a statement to the Federal Aviation Administration inspector-in-charge, the pilot-rated-passenger reported that the airplane's estimated speed to the runway was 110 knots. The pilot further stated that after touchdown, he was unable to stop the airplane. It traveled off the end of the runway, down an embankment, onto a service road and collapsed the nose landing gear. No preimpact malfunctions were reported by the pilot.
