CESSNA 172N
THE PLT REPORTED THAT AFTER THE SUN HAD SET, A HAZE FORMED NEAR THE GROUND. HE USED VISUAL REFERENCES TO ALIGN THE ACFT WITH THE PRIVATE RWY AT DUSK. AS HE APPROACHED, HE SAW WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS HEDGE ON THE EDGE OF THE ARPT & THEN MADE A SOFT FIELD LANDING. AFTER LANDING, HE SAW THE HEDGE AHEAD. HE PULLED BACK ON THE CONTROLS & APPLIED BRAKES, THEN THE ACFT NOSED OVER ON SOFT TERRAIN, SHORT OF THE RWY. THE PLT STATED THAT DIFFUSION OF THE ACFT LANDING LIGHTS BY HAZE REDUCED HIS FORWARD VISIBILITY.
