THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WAS GIVING DUAL INSTRUCTION TO A STUDENT PILOT ON NIGHT LANDINGS. ON THE SIXTH TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING, THE INSTRUCTOR TURNED THE LANDING LIGHT OFF FOR A NO-LIGHT LANDING. THE STUDENT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE, AND BEFORE A CORRECTION COULD BE MADE TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY, THE AIRPLANE STRUCK DEEP, UNPLOWED SNOW ABOUT FOUR FEET INSIDE THE RUNWAY PERIMETER LIGHTS AND NOSED-DOWN. THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE BOTH UNAWARE THAT THE RUNWAY HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETELY PLOWED. AN OFFICIAL FLIGHT PUBLICATION LISTS THE AIRPORT AS UNATTENDED AND UNMONITORED, AND RECOMMENDS A VISUAL INSPECTION PRIOR TO LANDING. THE INSTRUCTOR RECOMMENDED THAT NO-LIGHT LANDINGS SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY UNDER IDEAL RUNWAY/WEATHER CONDITIONS.
