NTSB Factual Report

While executing a night instrument approach in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), the 2,576-hour instrument rated commercial pilot visually identified the runway end identifier lights (REIL) and elected to continue the approach visually. When the airplane was approximately 100-feet above ground level (AGL), the airplane entered ground fog and the pilot lost visual contact with the runway. The pilot continued to descend, and subsequently collided with several runway approach lights short of the landing threshold for runway 14. The pilot was informed when he was cleared for the approach that the visibility was one and one half mile.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to execute a missed approach after losing visual contact with the runway, which resulted in a collision with approach lights. Factors were the dark night conditions and the fog.
