Narrative:

Cleared for visibility approach 20 mi from airport. Flew high pattern due to noise abatement procedure. Was on target airspeed and glide path on 1/2 mi final. Landed in first 1/3 of runway. Could have stopped with 1000' of runway remaining. Instead, I accelerated to leave time for following aircraft to land. I used too much power and was unable to stop on runway. Nose gear and 1 main stopped on gravel overrun, 1 main remained on runway. Because of depression left on overrun by another, larger aircraft. I needed the help of 4 men to push the aircraft back onto the runway. The aircraft was not damaged, and no one was injured. After returning home 1 hour later, I had an 101.8 degree F fever. Human performance considerations. Clearly, I was becoming ill west/O noticing it during the course of the flight. This probably affected my judgement of ground speed and remaining runway. I land on this runway dozens of times with students in 2 seat aircraft for every time I land in a heavier aircraft. I unconsciously counted on being able to decelerate this larger aircraft, over 1100 pounds heavier, the same way I could decelerate the trners. Although I had another pilot to help on this flight, she was not instrument rated, so I was flying for 5+ hours before the incident, so fatigue was probably also a factor.

Title: GA SMA OVERSHOT LNDG AT PAO.

Narrative: CLRED FOR VIS APCH 20 MI FROM ARPT. FLEW HIGH PATTERN DUE TO NOISE ABATEMENT PROC. WAS ON TARGET AIRSPD AND GLIDE PATH ON 1/2 MI FINAL. LANDED IN FIRST 1/3 OF RWY. COULD HAVE STOPPED WITH 1000' OF RWY REMAINING. INSTEAD, I ACCELERATED TO LEAVE TIME FOR FOLLOWING ACFT TO LAND. I USED TOO MUCH PWR AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON RWY. NOSE GEAR AND 1 MAIN STOPPED ON GRAVEL OVERRUN, 1 MAIN REMAINED ON RWY. BECAUSE OF DEPRESSION LEFT ON OVERRUN BY ANOTHER, LARGER ACFT. I NEEDED THE HELP OF 4 MEN TO PUSH THE ACFT BACK ONTO THE RWY. THE ACFT WAS NOT DAMAGED, AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. AFTER RETURNING HOME 1 HR LATER, I HAD AN 101.8 DEG F FEVER. HUMAN PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS. CLEARLY, I WAS BECOMING ILL W/O NOTICING IT DURING THE COURSE OF THE FLT. THIS PROBABLY AFFECTED MY JUDGEMENT OF GND SPD AND REMAINING RWY. I LAND ON THIS RWY DOZENS OF TIMES WITH STUDENTS IN 2 SEAT ACFT FOR EVERY TIME I LAND IN A HEAVIER ACFT. I UNCONSCIOUSLY COUNTED ON BEING ABLE TO DECELERATE THIS LARGER ACFT, OVER 1100 LBS HEAVIER, THE SAME WAY I COULD DECELERATE THE TRNERS. ALTHOUGH I HAD ANOTHER PLT TO HELP ON THIS FLT, SHE WAS NOT INSTRUMENT RATED, SO I WAS FLYING FOR 5+ HRS BEFORE THE INCIDENT, SO FATIGUE WAS PROBABLY ALSO A FACTOR.
