Narrative:

While landing at montgomery airport in san diego, (runway 28R) I ran out of runway and went into overrun area beyond threshold a distance of about 20'. There was no damage. During approach, afternoon sun was in my eyes. This resulted in poor approach, poor airplane handling. I should have gone around tried again. Afternoon sun made it difficult to see runway end and I thought I had more runway left when all of a sudden, I could see the numbers at the end. Conditions were compounded by haze and dust on windshield. Basically, I should have gone around and made a stabilized approach.

DURING APCH, AFTERNOON SUN WAS IN MY EYES. THIS RESULTED IN POOR APCH, POOR AIRPLANE HANDLING. I SHOULD HAVE GONE AROUND TRIED AGAIN. AFTERNOON SUN MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE RWY END AND I THOUGHT I HAD MORE RWY LEFT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I COULD SEE THE NUMBERS AT THE END. CONDITIONS WERE COMPOUNDED BY HAZE AND DUST ON WINDSHIELD. BASICALLY, I SHOULD HAVE GONE AROUND AND MADE A STABILIZED APCH.
