| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was landing the airplane at night. He said that after the airplane was on the ground, it veered to the left. There was evidence that during the landing, the left main landing gear 'entered newly worked field.' After entering the field, the airplane came to a sudden stop, and the right wing struck the runway. 'When the nose gear entered the soft field, the propeller came in contact with the ground.' Investigation revealed that the airplane's landing light and the airport's runway lighting were inoperative.
Probable Cause: the pilot's improper planning/decision and failure to obtain and/or maintain proper runway alignment during a night landing. Factors relating to the accident were: the airplane's inoperative landing lights, the airport's inoperative runway edge lights, and darkness, which prevented the pilot from adequately seeing the landing area.
