WITH WINDS FROM 320 TO 330 DEGREES, AT 8 TO 10 KNOTS, THE PILOT WAS CLEARED FOR A LEFT CROSSWIND ENTRY TO RWY 4. INSTEAD HE LINED UP WITH RWY 9. THE LOCAL CONTROLLER SAW THIS AND THEN CLEARED HIM TO LAND ON RWY 9 WHICH WAS 3721 FEET LONG. THE AIRPLANE RAN OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY, CROSSED 325 FEET OF OPEN FIELD, WENT THROUGH A FENCE, UP AN EMBANKMENT AND CAME TO REST ON A 4 LANE ROAD. THERE WERE 500 FEET OF SKID MARKS ON THE RWY, AND THE AIRPLANE TRAVELED 375 FEET BEYOND THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY. THE PILOT SAID HE LANDED LONG, WITHOUT FLAPS, CARRIED EXTRA POWER, AND FLOATED.
