Hang on, what's all this about runways, lights, windsocks, FSOs etc? A black hole approach is one where there aren't any of those things.
A black-hole approach illusion can happen during a final approach at night (with no stars or moonlight) over water or unlit terrain to a lighted runway, in which the horizon is not visible.
