Narrative:

Our company's WX reporting service reported the WX at Y31 as 600 overcast, 1 1/4 rain and fog. I was cleared for the VOR 27 approach into westbranch by minneapolis center. On the final approach I saw what I thought was part of the runway environment. This turned out to be other activity. At this point I decided to miss the approach and try another because I did have some ground contact at the MDA. On the second approach a spotted the airport and attempted to land. My approach speed higher than normal, and I touched down farther down the runway than planned. I was unable to bring the aircraft to a stop before the end of the runway. There were no injuries and no aircraft damage resulting from this incident. Factors involved in this occurrence were poor judgement by myself and a wet runway.

Narrative: OUR COMPANY'S WX REPORTING SERVICE REPORTED THE WX AT Y31 AS 600 OVCST, 1 1/4 RAIN AND FOG. I WAS CLRED FOR THE VOR 27 APCH INTO WESTBRANCH BY MINNEAPOLIS CENTER. ON THE FINAL APCH I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS PART OF THE RWY ENVIRONMENT. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE OTHER ACTIVITY. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO MISS THE APCH AND TRY ANOTHER BECAUSE I DID HAVE SOME GND CONTACT AT THE MDA. ON THE SECOND APCH A SPOTTED THE ARPT AND ATTEMPTED TO LAND. MY APCH SPEED HIGHER THAN NORMAL, AND I TOUCHED DOWN FARTHER DOWN THE RWY THAN PLANNED. I WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE ACFT TO A STOP BEFORE THE END OF THE RWY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO ACFT DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THIS INCIDENT. FACTORS INVOLVED IN THIS OCCURRENCE WERE POOR JUDGEMENT BY MYSELF AND A WET RWY.
