Narrative:

On a short local flight for proficiency purposes, I approached sck via eca VORTAC. Contacted sck (norcal) approach about 16 mi southwest at 3600 ft descending from 4500 ft (with ATIS Y). Handed off to sck with expected left base to runway 29L. Sck extended my base to allow touch and go traffic to sequence in first, cleared #2 for runway 29L. Cleared for the option runway 29L. I turned a long base (3 mi), but lined up on runway 29R. I continued the approach and landed. Tower asked for confirmation of the runway I landed on which I did, realizing then the error. Tower informed me this was his ILS runway, but allowed another option to runway 29R and I requested, received, and executed option to runway 29L. Departed airport and area from runway 29L. Factors: unfamiliar with airport, low recent flying time, distracted by switch to extended base. I goofed. Only 1 other GA in area.

Title: PA28 PLT HAS RWY INCURSION AT SCK.

Narrative: ON A SHORT LCL FLT FOR PROFICIENCY PURPOSES, I APCHED SCK VIA ECA VORTAC. CONTACTED SCK (NORCAL) APCH ABOUT 16 MI SW AT 3600 FT DSNDING FROM 4500 FT (WITH ATIS Y). HANDED OFF TO SCK WITH EXPECTED L BASE TO RWY 29L. SCK EXTENDED MY BASE TO ALLOW TOUCH AND GO TFC TO SEQUENCE IN FIRST, CLRED #2 FOR RWY 29L. CLRED FOR THE OPTION RWY 29L. I TURNED A LONG BASE (3 MI), BUT LINED UP ON RWY 29R. I CONTINUED THE APCH AND LANDED. TWR ASKED FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE RWY I LANDED ON WHICH I DID, REALIZING THEN THE ERROR. TWR INFORMED ME THIS WAS HIS ILS RWY, BUT ALLOWED ANOTHER OPTION TO RWY 29R AND I REQUESTED, RECEIVED, AND EXECUTED OPTION TO RWY 29L. DEPARTED ARPT AND AREA FROM RWY 29L. FACTORS: UNFAMILIAR WITH ARPT, LOW RECENT FLYING TIME, DISTRACTED BY SWITCH TO EXTENDED BASE. I GOOFED. ONLY 1 OTHER GA IN AREA.
