Narrative:

I departed dro at XX10Z VFR to psp to attend a convention. At the WX briefing prior to departure, I checked NOTAMS at flg and 40G where I planned to refuel. Light rain showers were in the area about the time I planned to land and I decided to proceed on course. Kingman was ahead, not far off course and with clear WX. I had never flown in the kingman area or landed at kingman before. I approached kingman from the southeast and spoke with igm unicom for airport advisories after listening to ASOS that indicated winds 350 degrees at 7 KTS. I indicated that I planned to land on runway 35. Unicom cleared me to land on runway 35. That was the extent of their communication. As I approached for a straight- in, I lined up on runway 3 instead of runway 35. I landed on the numbers and came to a stop after a short roll. At that time I noticed there was some construction ahead on the left side of the runway and a person was present beyond the construction and I realized the runway must be closed. I slowly advanced the throttle and started rolling again after the person exited the runway, and exited the taxiway to get fuel. Factors contributing to my distraction: the igm airport is a storage/repair airport for commercial airplanes and I was distraction to some degree looking at them. Factors that contributed: 1) unicom did not indicate that there was a runway closure or construction at the airport. 2) there was not an 'X' on the runway. The 'X' was off to the left on the taxiway.

Title: AN SMA PLT LANDS ON A CLOSED RWY AT IGM, AZ. THE LNDG WAS ALSO ON THE WRONG RWY.

Narrative: I DEPARTED DRO AT XX10Z VFR TO PSP TO ATTEND A CONVENTION. AT THE WX BRIEFING PRIOR TO DEP, I CHKED NOTAMS AT FLG AND 40G WHERE I PLANNED TO REFUEL. LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WERE IN THE AREA ABOUT THE TIME I PLANNED TO LAND AND I DECIDED TO PROCEED ON COURSE. KINGMAN WAS AHEAD, NOT FAR OFF COURSE AND WITH CLR WX. I HAD NEVER FLOWN IN THE KINGMAN AREA OR LANDED AT KINGMAN BEFORE. I APCHED KINGMAN FROM THE SE AND SPOKE WITH IGM UNICOM FOR ARPT ADVISORIES AFTER LISTENING TO ASOS THAT INDICATED WINDS 350 DEGS AT 7 KTS. I INDICATED THAT I PLANNED TO LAND ON RWY 35. UNICOM CLRED ME TO LAND ON RWY 35. THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THEIR COM. AS I APCHED FOR A STRAIGHT- IN, I LINED UP ON RWY 3 INSTEAD OF RWY 35. I LANDED ON THE NUMBERS AND CAME TO A STOP AFTER A SHORT ROLL. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED THERE WAS SOME CONSTRUCTION AHEAD ON THE L SIDE OF THE RWY AND A PERSON WAS PRESENT BEYOND THE CONSTRUCTION AND I REALIZED THE RWY MUST BE CLOSED. I SLOWLY ADVANCED THE THROTTLE AND STARTED ROLLING AGAIN AFTER THE PERSON EXITED THE RWY, AND EXITED THE TXWY TO GET FUEL. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO MY DISTR: THE IGM ARPT IS A STORAGE/REPAIR ARPT FOR COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES AND I WAS DISTR TO SOME DEG LOOKING AT THEM. FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTED: 1) UNICOM DID NOT INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A RWY CLOSURE OR CONSTRUCTION AT THE ARPT. 2) THERE WAS NOT AN 'X' ON THE RWY. THE 'X' WAS OFF TO THE L ON THE TXWY.
