Narrative:
During my preflight preparation, I evidently missed the NOTAM stating that rqb was closed. On letdown to airport, ASOS reported normal VFR conditions. There was no response on unicom frequency to traffic or advisory calls. Runway 27 was not marked as closed (no 'X' on runway). Crossing the threshold, I realized the runway numbers were missing. As I was already in the flare, I allowed the airplane to touch down for approximately 200 ft as the runway was clear. Upon return to the aircraft base, a rechk of the NOTAMS confirmed the suspicion the airport was closed when I landed. Check NOTAMS better. Turn off or modify ASOS message when airport is closed.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: C150 PLT LANDED AT AN ARPT NOTAMED CLOSED.
Narrative: DURING MY PREFLT PREPARATION, I EVIDENTLY MISSED THE NOTAM STATING THAT RQB WAS CLOSED. ON LETDOWN TO ARPT, ASOS RPTED NORMAL VFR CONDITIONS. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE ON UNICOM FREQ TO TFC OR ADVISORY CALLS. RWY 27 WAS NOT MARKED AS CLOSED (NO 'X' ON RWY). XING THE THRESHOLD, I REALIZED THE RWY NUMBERS WERE MISSING. AS I WAS ALREADY IN THE FLARE, I ALLOWED THE AIRPLANE TO TOUCH DOWN FOR APPROX 200 FT AS THE RWY WAS CLR. UPON RETURN TO THE ACFT BASE, A RECHK OF THE NOTAMS CONFIRMED THE SUSPICION THE ARPT WAS CLOSED WHEN I LANDED. CHK NOTAMS BETTER. TURN OFF OR MODIFY ASOS MESSAGE WHEN ARPT IS CLOSED.
