Narrative:
We were cleared for an RNAV approach to runway 9 at charleston executive. We mistakenly understood that the RNAV approach was to runway 19, which was no longer in use. Since we did not have RNAV approach charts, we requested the VOR-a approach, with minimums of 460 ft MSL and were cleared for the approach. After executing the approach, we broke out of the overcast at 500 ft and saw the north/south runway at 12 O'clock and approximately 2 mi. We did not see any X's on the runway and landed on it instead of runway 9, which would have been the appropriate runway for our situation. During the rollout, and clearing at the end, we noticed an 'X' for the first time, indicating we had landed on a closed runway. The runways were wet and runway markings were in need of repainting. A better review of the approach charts, in particular the plan view of the airport, would have shown that the north/south runway was no longer in use. Also, better markings on the runways would have helped a great deal in identing the correct runway on an approach so close to minimums.

Title: CAPT OF CPR LTT ACFT INADVERTENTLY LANDED ON A CLOSED RWY AT AN UNCTLED ARPT.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED FOR AN RNAV APCH TO RWY 9 AT CHARLESTON EXECUTIVE. WE MISTAKENLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE RNAV APCH WAS TO RWY 19, WHICH WAS NO LONGER IN USE. SINCE WE DID NOT HAVE RNAV APCH CHARTS, WE REQUESTED THE VOR-A APCH, WITH MINIMUMS OF 460 FT MSL AND WERE CLRED FOR THE APCH. AFTER EXECUTING THE APCH, WE BROKE OUT OF THE OVCST AT 500 FT AND SAW THE N/S RWY AT 12 O'CLOCK AND APPROX 2 MI. WE DID NOT SEE ANY X'S ON THE RWY AND LANDED ON IT INSTEAD OF RWY 9, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN THE APPROPRIATE RWY FOR OUR SIT. DURING THE ROLLOUT, AND CLRING AT THE END, WE NOTICED AN 'X' FOR THE FIRST TIME, INDICATING WE HAD LANDED ON A CLOSED RWY. THE RWYS WERE WET AND RWY MARKINGS WERE IN NEED OF REPAINTING. A BETTER REVIEW OF THE APCH CHARTS, IN PARTICULAR THE PLAN VIEW OF THE ARPT, WOULD HAVE SHOWN THAT THE N/S RWY WAS NO LONGER IN USE. ALSO, BETTER MARKINGS ON THE RWYS WOULD HAVE HELPED A GREAT DEAL IN IDENTING THE CORRECT RWY ON AN APCH SO CLOSE TO MINIMUMS.
