Narrative:

On jul/thu/99, I was plting aircraft X, an M20C. I was doing a crosswind landing on runway 27 when the plane veered to the left and went into the grass. I tried to correct, but wasn't able to get it back on the runway. At that point I tried to miss everything I could and not damage anything, but I was unable to miss 1 PAPI marker light. No one was injured, pilot was only one in the plane.
