Narrative:
[I was] flying ILS approach to runway 30 at jef vectored to final ahead of a faster aircraft. [I] attempted to fly approach at faster than standard airspeed; causing everything to occur quicker than normal. Was receiving conflicting readings from the glideslope on two different CDI's; did not see this until late in the approach due to intercept from above published altitudes. GPS and altitude verified the correct CDI data; distraction was associated with the data conflict; arrived at target altitude and broke out of clouds just beyond threshold; decided to maneuver to complete landing when at minimums upon the breakout from clouds. Result was non-standard landing maneuvers; instead of the cleared straight in approach. Approach to low IFR airport was at end of a 2:20 minute IFR flight in IMC and weather avoidance. Correct decision would have been to execute missed approach and trouble shoot any problems at altitude; then re-fly approach.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: M20 pilot reports conflicting glideslope information during ILS 30 approach at JEF and breaks out at 300 FT over the threshold. Non-standard landing maneuvers were used to complete landing when at minimums; that did not comply with straight in landing clearance.
