Incident Overview
An aircraft struck a Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) fixture while rolling out after landing. The pilot stated that the runway lights were not illuminated during the approach. To assess the landing environment, the pilot conducted a low pass over the runway, after which she was able to discern the airport layout and subsequently landed.
Sequence of Events
During the landing roll, the pilot observed the VASI structure ahead and attempted to steer around it. However, the left wing of the aircraft made contact with the fixture. The airport manager later reported that the runway lights were malfunctioning at the time of the incident.
Contributing Factors
The source does not provide any analysis or causal factors beyond the stated facts: the runway lights were not operating correctly, and the pilot maneuvered to avoid the VASI but was unable to prevent the wing strike.
