Incident Overview
A pilot conducted two approaches to the east end of a grass airstrip. During the first approach, he performed a touch-and-go. On the second approach, he did not touch down but instead flew low over the length of the runway.
Sequence of Events
At the conclusion of the second approach, the pilot pulled up steeply, climbing a few hundred feet, then entered a steeply banked right turn, which resulted in a course reversal. After the reversal, he entered a rapidly descending slip toward the west end of the runway.
Final Moments
Just after terminating the slip, the aircraft impacted 40-foot high power lines located approximately 20 feet from the runway threshold.
