Circuit Basher, when you say 'all approah aids were turned off, I presume you mean the runway lights too, however, no one should ever consider landing by the light of their aircraft lights alone as this is foolhardy and best left for emergency situations, not just to save a handling fee. It is exceptionally difficult to judge flare height under the landing light of an average PA28, not to mention the consequences of a blown bulb - a fairly common occourunce on PA28s and light aircraft.
