Narrative:
While landing straight in on runway 3 at 1b1 columbia county airport, hudson, ny, the following event occurred. On the approach I was descending steeper than normal to lose altitude at a higher than normal speed of approximately 140 KTS. When I reached the end of the runway I had slowed down to about 110 KTS but still was at approximately 100 ft AGL with full flaps extended and gear down. I ended up floating half way down the 5000 ft runway until I touched down. I then applied brakes which locked and skidded until the left main tire blew out. This made it difficult to keep straight and continue slowing the plane. When we came to the end of the runway I decided to let off the brakes and coast onto the grass. By the time I was at the end of the runway I had slowed to only a few mph. Upon reaching the grass the left main tire rim dug into the SID causing the plane to turn abruptly 90 degree to the left and skid about 10 ft before stopping. This caused the left wing skin to crease between the fuselage and the gear. No one on board suffered any injuries whatsoever. A go around would have averted the problem!

Title: A DESTABILIZED APCH PROC AND A LONG LNDG RESULTS IN A RWY EXCURSION AND ACFT DAMAGED.
Narrative: WHILE LNDG STRAIGHT IN ON RWY 3 AT 1B1 COLUMBIA COUNTY ARPT, HUDSON, NY, THE FOLLOWING EVENT OCCURRED. ON THE APCH I WAS DSNDING STEEPER THAN NORMAL TO LOSE ALT AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL SPD OF APPROX 140 KTS. WHEN I REACHED THE END OF THE RWY I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 110 KTS BUT STILL WAS AT APPROX 100 FT AGL WITH FULL FLAPS EXTENDED AND GEAR DOWN. I ENDED UP FLOATING HALF WAY DOWN THE 5000 FT RWY UNTIL I TOUCHED DOWN. I THEN APPLIED BRAKES WHICH LOCKED AND SKIDDED UNTIL THE L MAIN TIRE BLEW OUT. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP STRAIGHT AND CONTINUE SLOWING THE PLANE. WHEN WE CAME TO THE END OF THE RWY I DECIDED TO LET OFF THE BRAKES AND COAST ONTO THE GRASS. BY THE TIME I WAS AT THE END OF THE RWY I HAD SLOWED TO ONLY A FEW MPH. UPON REACHING THE GRASS THE L MAIN TIRE RIM DUG INTO THE SID CAUSING THE PLANE TO TURN ABRUPTLY 90 DEG TO THE L AND SKID ABOUT 10 FT BEFORE STOPPING. THIS CAUSED THE L WING SKIN TO CREASE BTWN THE FUSELAGE AND THE GEAR. NO ONE ON BOARD SUFFERED ANY INJURIES WHATSOEVER. A GAR WOULD HAVE AVERTED THE PROBLEM!
