## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)PILOT WAS CONDUCTING A NIGHT VFR FLIGHT FROM SPRINGFIELD-BRANSON REGIONAL AIRPORT (SGF), SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI, TO HIS HOME BASE AT TRENTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (TRX), TRENTON, MISSOURI. ENCOUNTERING DETERIORATING WEATHER CONDITIONS AS HE PASSED CARROLLTON MEMORIAL AIRPORT (K26) NORTHBOUND, HE REVERSED HIS COURSE AND RETURNED TO CARROLLTON FOR A LANDING, WHERE HE FOUND THE RUNWAY LIGHTS WERE OFF.  HE CONTACTED THE CARROLLTON COUNTY POLICE DISPATCHER, ON HIS CELL PHONE AND REQUESTED THEIR ASSISTANCE IN TURNING ON THE LIGHTS.  WHEN THE FIRST PATROL CAR ARRIVED, HE PROCEEDED TO LAND DUE TO LOWERING CLOUD COVER.  HIS LANDING WAS LONG, AND HE RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND FLIPPED OVER. ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^
