Accident Details
The pilot was aware of two sets of power lines crossing the final approach path to a private airstrip. During a flyover, the pilot sighted the wires. Despite this, the aircraft impacted two 3/8-inch-diameter wires at an altitude of 35 feet above ground, approximately 75 yards before the runway threshold.
Upon striking the wires, they became entangled in the tail flight control surfaces. This caused the aircraft to touch down in a right yaw. The left landing gear subsequently collapsed during the landing roll.
