The pilot reported a loss of electrical power at night. The pilot made a precautionary landing on an unlighted runway. The pilot stated that it was 'difficult to see' and the airplane touched down midfield. During roll out, the airplane collided with a runway light, overran the runway's departure end, and entered a ditch. The airplane's electrical system was examined by an FAA airworthiness inspector. The inspector reported that no mechanical problems were observed except that the alternator's drive belt was found 'extremely loose.' An examination of the airplane's maintenance records and pilot's report revealed that since completion of the last annual inspection, the airplane had been operated for two days during which it was flown for five hours.
Probable Cause: AN INADEQUATE ANNUAL INSPECTION WHICH LED TO A LOSS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DUE TO LOOSE ALTERNATOR BELT, AND THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT DURING A NIGHT PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON AN UNLIT RUNWAY.
