Narrative:

While landing at bdl I was cleared for the visual approach to runway 15. Upon landing I kept the speed up as I taxied to our ramp. As I was taxiing I didn't see the end of the runway coming. When I did, it was too late to stop. I overran the runway. I did not feel, see, or hear that I hit any lights. The next morning I was told some lights were broken. I believe one of the contributing factors of the problem is that as a cargo pilot we have tight deadlines which make us rush a lot, and all that hustle can lead to problems. From this I learned, and I will slow down even if that means blowing my deadline.

Title: PA60 PLT HIT RWY END LIGHTS EXITING RWY.

Narrative: WHILE LNDG AT BDL I WAS CLRED FOR THE VISUAL APCH TO RWY 15. UPON LNDG I KEPT THE SPD UP AS I TAXIED TO OUR RAMP. AS I WAS TAXIING I DIDN'T SEE THE END OF THE RWY COMING. WHEN I DID, IT WAS TOO LATE TO STOP. I OVERRAN THE RWY. I DID NOT FEEL, SEE, OR HEAR THAT I HIT ANY LIGHTS. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS TOLD SOME LIGHTS WERE BROKEN. I BELIEVE ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS OF THE PROB IS THAT AS A CARGO PLT WE HAVE TIGHT DEADLINES WHICH MAKE US RUSH A LOT, AND ALL THAT HUSTLE CAN LEAD TO PROBS. FROM THIS I LEARNED, AND I WILL SLOW DOWN EVEN IF THAT MEANS BLOWING MY DEADLINE.
