Narrative:

Flying northbound from puerto plata, in the dominican republic, on A636, from retak intersection up to great inagua, I was in constant radar contact and constant communication with ZMA. Upon reaching great inagua, at 8000' MSL, I was told that radar service was terminated, and to contact nassau radio with position reports over dunno and hodgy intxns. This is a distance of over 275 NM with no navaids except an ndg, and at this particular time a tropical storm was still in the area with thunderstorms around, making the NDB even more unreliable. About 25 mi southeast of hodgy intersection, nassau radio told me to contact ZMA again. After getting in touch with them (which took about 15 mins) center instructed me to turn right 15 degree right of course, because the wind had pushed me to the left edge of miami fir boundary and even into cuba's airspace. All the while my NDB was showing on course, which I guess is not too surprising at that distance. With A315 running so close to the cta/fir boundary, I think that the center should have a much better remote radar antenna and communication system in order to monitor the participating flts, and definitely a much better class of navaids along that far of a distance. Incident occurred during flight instruction for touch and go lndgs at above referenced airport. As CFI, I was demonstrating slip to landing, touchdown proceeding normally. However, on the go, aircraft ran off runway to the right and damaged runway light. Managed to regain control of aircraft ground path and lift off. However, at this time was completely unaware that runway had been damaged. Performed 1 or 2 more touch and goes before hearing on unicom that runway was closed temporarily due to broken glass. Landed at base airport and contacted carrol county airport to report as soon as practical. Believe incident was the result of fatigue and have taken proper action to relieve this and will monitor situation north an on-going basis.

Title: GA SMT DEVIATED FROM TRACK CLRNC ROUTE.

Narrative: FLYING NBOUND FROM PUERTO PLATA, IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ON A636, FROM RETAK INTXN UP TO GREAT INAGUA, I WAS IN CONSTANT RADAR CONTACT AND CONSTANT COM WITH ZMA. UPON REACHING GREAT INAGUA, AT 8000' MSL, I WAS TOLD THAT RADAR SERVICE WAS TERMINATED, AND TO CONTACT NASSAU RADIO WITH POSITION REPORTS OVER DUNNO AND HODGY INTXNS. THIS IS A DISTANCE OF OVER 275 NM WITH NO NAVAIDS EXCEPT AN NDG, AND AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME A TROPICAL STORM WAS STILL IN THE AREA WITH TSTMS AROUND, MAKING THE NDB EVEN MORE UNRELIABLE. ABOUT 25 MI SE OF HODGY INTXN, NASSAU RADIO TOLD ME TO CONTACT ZMA AGAIN. AFTER GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THEM (WHICH TOOK ABOUT 15 MINS) CENTER INSTRUCTED ME TO TURN RIGHT 15 DEG RIGHT OF COURSE, BECAUSE THE WIND HAD PUSHED ME TO THE LEFT EDGE OF MIAMI FIR BOUNDARY AND EVEN INTO CUBA'S AIRSPACE. ALL THE WHILE MY NDB WAS SHOWING ON COURSE, WHICH I GUESS IS NOT TOO SURPRISING AT THAT DISTANCE. WITH A315 RUNNING SO CLOSE TO THE CTA/FIR BOUNDARY, I THINK THAT THE CENTER SHOULD HAVE A MUCH BETTER REMOTE RADAR ANTENNA AND COM SYSTEM IN ORDER TO MONITOR THE PARTICIPATING FLTS, AND DEFINITELY A MUCH BETTER CLASS OF NAVAIDS ALONG THAT FAR OF A DISTANCE. INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING FLT INSTRUCTION FOR TOUCH AND GO LNDGS AT ABOVE REFERENCED ARPT. AS CFI, I WAS DEMONSTRATING SLIP TO LNDG, TOUCHDOWN PROCEEDING NORMALLY. HOWEVER, ON THE GO, ACFT RAN OFF RWY TO THE RIGHT AND DAMAGED RWY LIGHT. MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF ACFT GND PATH AND LIFT OFF. HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT RWY HAD BEEN DAMAGED. PERFORMED 1 OR 2 MORE TOUCH AND GOES BEFORE HEARING ON UNICOM THAT RWY WAS CLOSED TEMPORARILY DUE TO BROKEN GLASS. LANDED AT BASE ARPT AND CONTACTED CARROL COUNTY ARPT TO REPORT AS SOON AS PRACTICAL. BELIEVE INCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF FATIGUE AND HAVE TAKEN PROPER ACTION TO RELIEVE THIS AND WILL MONITOR SITUATION N AN ON-GOING BASIS.
