Incident Overview
After takeoff, the pilot turned to a northerly heading and remained at low altitude to view his agricultural development near the airstrip. This heading took the aircraft toward high-tension power lines located just north of the private strip.
Sequence of Events
The pilot selected a flight path over the lowest sag in the power lines. However, neither he nor the passenger saw the static cables situated above the main transmission lines. Subsequently, the aircraft collided with an upper (static) cable. The cable stopped the aircraft's forward movement, causing it to drop nearly straight down to the ground.
Investigation
No further details regarding the aircraft, occupants, or circumstances have been provided in the source material. The accident investigation focuses on the factual sequence as described.
