Descripción:
The Hawker 800XP landed at Port Harcourt Airport (PHC/DNPO), Nigeria, in light rain. The captain stated that just on touchdown, the right hand and centerline lights were out and in a bid to line up with the lights the aircraft veered off the runway to the left.
The aircraft entered the grass verge but later got back to the paved runway. In the process, the nose gear collapsed.
Causal factor: Black hole effect disorientation causing low-level manoeuvre into grass verge.
Contributory factor:
1. Most of the runway 21 right edge lights were unserviceable at landing time.
2. Inadequate Crew Resource Management during approach.
