What happened
During the final approach to an airport, an aircraft struck electrical power transmission wires, which subsequently caused the plane to collide with the terrain. A pilot who had landed in an aircraft immediately preceding the accident reported that the runway was difficult to observe due to sun glare.
Following the impact, the airport operator witnessed the accident and was the first person to reach the aircraft. During a telephone conversation, the pilot stated he did not have a clear memory of the accident itself, though he did recall the sun being in his eyes during the approach. When the pilot asked the operator what had been struck, the operator informed him that the aircraft had hit wires. The pilot indicated that he was unaware that the powerlines were present in the flight path.
