What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-16) The pilot in command and his female passenger departed meadowlake airport (00V) earlier that evening for a pleasure flight in the local area. When the pilot noticed that there was lightning and possible storms in the vicinity of 00V, he elected to return to the field. He was unaware of a recent change in the radio frequency that activates the runway lights and attempted a landing in the dark, with only the aircraft's landing light. As a result, he landed between runway 15 and its parallel taxiway, bouncing back into the air, then impacting the ground a second time, then came to rest on the nose of the aircraft.
