THE NON-INSTRUMENT RATED PILOT HAD RECENTLY RECEIVED A NIGHT CHECKOUT ON 1/8/82 AND WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE BEEN ON A PRACTIVE NIGHT FLIGHT. THE THREE NEAREST WEATHER STATIONS REPORTED CEILINGS BETWEEN 200 FT AND 400 FT AND VISIBILITIES FROM 3/4 TO 1 1/2 MILES WITH FOG. THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED ABOUT ONE MILE SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT AND ABOUT 1/2 MILE WEST OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. MATERIAL FROM THE LEFT WING WAS FOUND AT THE INITIAL IMPACT POINT. AFTER IMPACT, THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED 75 FT ON A HEADING OF 170 DEGREES. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO FAILURES OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ENGINE. THERE WAS NO RECORD OF A PREFLIGHT WEATHER BRIEFING.
