Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during a landing attempt, the aircraft stalled at approximately 30 to 40 feet above the runway after the pilot became distracted by obstacles at the approach end. The pilot had previously made two unsuccessful landing attempts on Runway 10 before determining that the winds favored a landing on Runway 28.
Approach and Distraction
While on approach to Runway 28, the pilot noticed power lines and campers near the approach end. According to the pilot, "On the approach, my attention was distracted . . . by the wires . . . the campers, (and a) mound of dirt." The pilot stated that he failed to maintain adequate airspeed and stalled the aircraft as a result.
Sequence of Events
The pilot reported that the aircraft struck a power line during the stall. After hitting the power line, the pilot was able to regain some control of the aircraft, but it then dropped to the runway. No further details regarding the aircraft's condition or occupant status were provided in the report.
Contributing Factors
According to the pilot's account, the primary cause of the incident was his failure to maintain adequate airspeed due to distraction, leading to an aerodynamic stall at low altitude.
