THE PILOT OF THE CESSNA 210D WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND ON A RUNWAY WHICH HAD BEEN CLOSED BY FAA NOTAM AND A YELLOW X OVER THE RUNWAY IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS. HE DID NOT CONTACT THE ON FIELD FAA FLIGHT SERVICE STATION (FSS) FOR AIRPORT ADVISORIES PRIOR TO THE LANDING, AND DID NOT NOTICE THE TEMPORARY BARRIERS AND EQUIPMENT ON THE RUNWAY UNTIL HE WAS BEGINNING HIS LANDING FLARE. HE EXECUTED A GO AROUND, BUT IMPACTED A BARRIER WITH THE LEFT ELEVATOR. THE ELEVATOR DANGLED FROM THE AIRCRAFT UNTIL THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO LAND ON AN ADJACENT TAXIWAY, WHEREUPON THE ELEVATOR SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT.
