Incident Overview
During an agricultural spraying operation, the pilot executed a pull-up at the end of an east-west swath run. At that moment, the aircraft struck power lines that were positioned close to the field's edge and oriented north-south. The pilot reported that after the collision, the airplane lost aileron control.
Forced Landing
Following the loss of control, the pilot performed a forced landing to an unimproved field. The landing resulted in structural damage to the aircraft.
Evidence
Post-incident inspection revealed scratch marks on the left wing and the left main landing gear, consistent with contact from transmission wire.
Pilot Account
The pilot provided the account of the sequence, noting the proximity of the power lines to the field and the orientation of the lines relative to the swath run direction.
