Incident Overview
During the landing approach, as the aircraft was on short final and approximately 300 to 400 feet from the runway threshold, the pilot observed power lines directly ahead and slightly below the flight path. The power lines were not equipped with aerial marking balls.
Pilot Actions
In response to the imminent hazard, the pilot momentarily added engine power and increased the aircraft's pitch attitude in an attempt to clear the wires. However, the left main landing gear contacted the uppermost power line.
Impact and Damage
Following the contact with the power line, the aircraft continued onto the runway and impacted the surface. The impact caused the nose landing gear and left main landing gear to collapse. The extent of other damage is not specified in the source.
Circumstances
The source does not provide information on the aircraft type, registration, operator, location, date, time of day, weather conditions, ATC involvement, or any injuries or fatalities.
