Narrative:

As an air carrier pilot, I was trying to get familiar with small cessnas again. Approaching zephyrhills airport for a practice landing, I heard parachute jumping operations in progress. Since zephyrhills had multiple runways, I decided to land on runway 18 because the jump aircraft had landed there. Concentrating on a safe approach and landing, while looking for airborne parachutes, I landed on a runway connector or closed runway, by mistake. The pavement I landed on did not have any X's on it. All this was noticed after landing and rollout. If it was a closed runway, it should have had X's on it -- and I would not have landed there.

Title: C152 LANDS ON CLOSED RWY AT ZPH.

Narrative: AS AN ACR PLT, I WAS TRYING TO GET FAMILIAR WITH SMALL CESSNAS AGAIN. APCHING ZEPHYRHILLS ARPT FOR A PRACTICE LNDG, I HEARD PARACHUTE JUMPING OPS IN PROGRESS. SINCE ZEPHYRHILLS HAD MULTIPLE RWYS, I DECIDED TO LAND ON RWY 18 BECAUSE THE JUMP ACFT HAD LANDED THERE. CONCENTRATING ON A SAFE APCH AND LNDG, WHILE LOOKING FOR AIRBORNE PARACHUTES, I LANDED ON A RWY CONNECTOR OR CLOSED RWY, BY MISTAKE. THE PAVEMENT I LANDED ON DID NOT HAVE ANY X'S ON IT. ALL THIS WAS NOTICED AFTER LNDG AND ROLLOUT. IF IT WAS A CLOSED RWY, IT SHOULD HAVE HAD X'S ON IT -- AND I WOULD NOT HAVE LANDED THERE.
