Narrative:

High xwinds prevented the use of the 'normal' runway. Quick reference to airport chart showed a 5100' runway oriented into a 20-30 KT headwind. My aircraft was relatively light at 100000#. Landing length chart showed distance was adequate. I landed uneventfully and taxied in. Later I noticed the runway was limited to aircraft weighing less than 50000 pounds and only 4500' was available for landing. I screwed up, but feel that the tower controllers could have offered some help in alleviating the possibly dangerous situation.

Title: ACR MLG LANDED ON A RWY NOT STRESSED FOR ACFT GROSS WEIGHT.

Narrative: HIGH XWINDS PREVENTED THE USE OF THE 'NORMAL' RWY. QUICK REF TO ARPT CHART SHOWED A 5100' RWY ORIENTED INTO A 20-30 KT HEADWIND. MY ACFT WAS RELATIVELY LIGHT AT 100000#. LNDG LENGTH CHART SHOWED DISTANCE WAS ADEQUATE. I LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AND TAXIED IN. LATER I NOTICED THE RWY WAS LIMITED TO ACFT WEIGHING LESS THAN 50000 LBS AND ONLY 4500' WAS AVAILABLE FOR LNDG. I SCREWED UP, BUT FEEL THAT THE TWR CTLRS COULD HAVE OFFERED SOME HELP IN ALLEVIATING THE POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
