Narrative:

I was flying into pen yan airport. I called ATC rochester and asked for winds and active and they said winds at 240 degrees, 8 KTS. I asked for radio frequency change and it changed, went to 123.0 pen yan unicom. I radioed in for winds and active and unicom replied winds out of west 8 KTS, your choice of runway. I landed on runway 28 and it had a steep slope and I could not stop on the runway. I applied full brakes and engine was at idle, 20 degrees flaps. Yoke full back. I ran off end of runway and the wing of my airplane clipped the hangar and I spun aircraft around breaking the left wheel off and aircraft stopped in the hangar. I feel I should have landed closer to the numbers and if I closed my flaps I might have had more of a chance of stopping. I really thought I could stop the plane but if I knew the slope was so steep I would have pushed power in and did a go around and landed on north/south runway. This was my first time I had ever landed on a slope, and next time, I will try to find a runway without a slope. P.south. With the trees at the end of runway, I was afraid I would have not been able to clear them.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: PLT OF AN SMA SEL LOST CTL OF ACFT DURING LNDG, RESULTING IN A RWY EXCURSION AND HITTING A WINGTIP ON A HANGAR, CAUSING THE ACFT TO SPIN AROUND BREAKING THE L WHEEL OFF AND SWINGING THE ACFT INTO THE HANGAR WHERE IT WAS FINALLY STOPPED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE DAMAGED ACFT WAS CLASSIFIED AS AN INCIDENT.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING INTO PEN YAN ARPT. I CALLED ATC ROCHESTER AND ASKED FOR WINDS AND ACTIVE AND THEY SAID WINDS AT 240 DEGS, 8 KTS. I ASKED FOR RADIO FREQ CHANGE AND IT CHANGED, WENT TO 123.0 PEN YAN UNICOM. I RADIOED IN FOR WINDS AND ACTIVE AND UNICOM REPLIED WINDS OUT OF W 8 KTS, YOUR CHOICE OF RWY. I LANDED ON RWY 28 AND IT HAD A STEEP SLOPE AND I COULD NOT STOP ON THE RWY. I APPLIED FULL BRAKES AND ENG WAS AT IDLE, 20 DEGS FLAPS. YOKE FULL BACK. I RAN OFF END OF RWY AND THE WING OF MY AIRPLANE CLIPPED THE HANGAR AND I SPUN ACFT AROUND BREAKING THE L WHEEL OFF AND ACFT STOPPED IN THE HANGAR. I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE LANDED CLOSER TO THE NUMBERS AND IF I CLOSED MY FLAPS I MIGHT HAVE HAD MORE OF A CHANCE OF STOPPING. I REALLY THOUGHT I COULD STOP THE PLANE BUT IF I KNEW THE SLOPE WAS SO STEEP I WOULD HAVE PUSHED PWR IN AND DID A GAR AND LANDED ON N/S RWY. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME I HAD EVER LANDED ON A SLOPE, AND NEXT TIME, I WILL TRY TO FIND A RWY WITHOUT A SLOPE. P.S. WITH THE TREES AT THE END OF RWY, I WAS AFRAID I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CLR THEM.
