ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, WHILE ON APPROACH TO THE DIMLY LIGHTED RUNWAY, HE DISCOVERED THAT THE AIRCRAFT LANDING LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. HIS RESEARCH OF THE PROBLEM DISCLOSED THAT THE LANDING LIGHT CIRCUIT BREAKER HAD POPPED, BUT AFTER RESETTING THE BREAKER, THE LANDING LIGHT STILL FAILED TO OPERATE. THE PILOT ELECTED TO CONTINUE THE APPROACH TO A LIGHTED AREA ON THE AIRPORT. THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN IN THE GRASS BETWEEN THE RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY, AND COLLIDED WITH A DEPRESSION IN THE GRASSY AREA.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO ESTABLISH A FINAL APPROACH COURSE TO THE RUNWAY SURFACE DURING A NIGHT LANDING. A FACTOR WAS THE INOPERATIVE AIRCRAFT LANDING LIGHT.
