THE AIRPLANE OVERRAN THE RWY DURING ROLLOUT. THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS LANDING AT HIS INTENDED DESTINATION ARPT. WHICH HAD A 3,000 FT LONG BY 40 FT WIDE RWY. HE LANDED INSTEAD AT A PRIVATE, PAVED AIRSTRIP LOCATED ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES FROM THE DESTINATION ARPT. THE AIRSTRIP RWY WAS ORIENTED THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE DESTINATION ARPT, BUT WAS ONLY 1,000 FT LONG BY 20 FT WIDE. THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE HAD NOT FLOWN IN THE AREA BEFORE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE FAA HAD NO RECORD OF THE AIRSTRIP, AND THAT IT WAS NOT NOTED ON CHARTS OR IN THE ARPT/FACILITY DIRECTORY. A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ARPT OWNER REPORTED THAT THE OWNER WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY REQUIREMENT TO NOTIFY THE FAA OF THE ARPT. THE AIRSTRIP WAS ABOUT 7 YRS OLD. 14CFR157 (FAR PART 157) REQUIRES THAT ANY PERSON INTENDING TO CONSTRUCT OR ESTABLISH A NEW AIRPORT NOTIFY THE FAA OF THEIR INTENT.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S INADVERTENT LANDING AT THE WRONG AIRPORT, CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE FAILURE OF THE AIRPORT PERSONNEL TO NOTIFY THE FAA OF THE EXISTANCE OF THE AIRPORT SO IT COULD BE PROPERLY DESIGNATED ON AVIATION CHARTS.
