Incident Overview
During a night personal flight, the pilot reported being unable to activate the runway lights using the designated frequencies. As a result, he attempted to land without the aid of the runway lights. The aircraft touched down near the far end of the runway and subsequently ran off the end of the runway.
Airport Conditions
A Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) had been issued stating that the airport was unusable during the hours of darkness. This restriction was due to ongoing installation of new runway lights at the airport.
Pilot Account
The pilot stated that he could not activate the runway lights on the frequencies designated for that purpose. He chose to proceed with the landing despite the absence of runway lighting.
Sequence of Events
The pilot touched down on the far end of the runway. After touchdown, the aircraft continued beyond the runway surface and came to a stop off the end of the runway.
Relevant NOTAM
The NOTAM declared the airport unusable at night because the new runway lights were not yet operational. The pilot was aware of this NOTAM but proceeded with the night landing anyway.
