Don't know about Ypok, but an aerodrome can have portable lights and a responsible person. Also some aerodromes do not advertise lights in ERSA to avoid night buzzings from various schools.
In any case it appears the flight plan was submitted and SAR time actioned.
Curious how far from the aerodrome an aircraft crashed.
Take a look at the airport cameras and you’ll see the mountains literally right next to the runway.
It came to rest approximately 1km away from the runway on upwind. You can see all the emergency vehicles on-site at around 11am yesterday if you look at Windy.com
If there’s one takeaway from this, it appears that the pilot didn’t attempt to turn back.
There are no lights there. You’ll also see that on the cameras.
