ACR LTT ON LNDG ROLL ENCOUNTERS FOG BANK AND ALLOWS ACFT TO DRIFT TO DEGE OF RWY AND STRIKE RWY LIGHTS.

Narrative

I WAS INFORMED OF RWY/TAXI LIGHTS BEING DAMAGED AT SLK WHILE ON THE GND IN ROC. THIS WAS 3 STOPS LATER IN THE DAY AT XA40 AM. I WAS QUESTIONED AS TO WHETHER OR NOT I MAY HAVE HAD ANY PROBS IN SLK. THE PROB I HAD WAS ENCOUNTERING A 0/0 VIS AFTER ROLLOUT FROM AN ILS APCH. MY GND REFERENCES WERE LOST WHILE ROLLING INTO THE 0/0 VIS FOG BANK WHICH WAS NOT DISCERNABLE WHILE ON THE APCH; HAVING LOST REFERENCES MY ATTN WAS FOCUSED OUTSIDE AS TO THE ACTUAL POS OF THE ACFT IN RELATIONSHIP TO CENTERLINE OF THE RWY. IN REF SEARCHING I CAME TO SEE EDGE LIGHTS IN MY 10 O'CLOCK POS. I CORRECTED RAPIDLY AND DID NOT SUSPECT THAT CONTACT WITH EDGE LIGHTS OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY RWY ENVIRONMENT HAD BEEN EXITED. AFTER SHUT DOWN AT THE RAMP; VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWED NO DAMAGE OF ANY TYPE VISIBLE ON THE ACFT. I PROCEEDED NORMALLY WITH THE SCHEDULE. GND FOG IS ONE OF THE MOST INDISCERNABLE TYPES OF PHENOMENON FROM THE FLT DECK VIEW. AT UNCTLED ARPTS WITH NO RVR EQUIP OR MORE ACCURATE TYPE OF RPTING DATA; THE PLT FINDS HIMSELF RESORTING TO GRASSROOTS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE; SOMETIMES TOUGH TO COME BY IN THE COMMUTER WORLD. STATION PERSONNEL SHOULD BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE AT HAND WHEN RPTING WX PHENOMENON. TRNING/EQUIP IS AVAILABLE BUT NOT AS MUCH WHEN WORKING IN THE NON RADAR ENVIRONMENT. MORE TIMELY RPTS AS WELL AS VARIED ARE NEEDED. ONE'S VIEW ON THE RAMP WILL VERY LIKELY BE DIFFERENT A MILE OR MORE AWAY AT THE RWY THRESHOLD.
