Default Long Landing Approved

Is there any reason I cannot fly over the first 9,000 feet of runway

I just want to know if there is a legal problem.


I do this all the time at Syracuse, NY. The runway is 9,500 feet long and
my T-hangar is probably another 1,000 feet past the end of runway 28
(normally the main runway).

When I am landing rwy 28 I will request a long landing, which is almost
always approved (unless an airliner is breathing down my back), and when I
land on rwy 10 I practice my short field landings.
