Incident Overview
During an aerial application operation, a helicopter collided with power lines. The pilot was maneuvering the helicopter as it lined up in the corner of a lot. While doing so, the helicopter descended into a wire.
Sequence of Events
The wire became entangled around the helicopter's mast and control linkages. Subsequently, the helicopter began to pitch in an unusual manner. The pilot attempted to level off, but the controls were unresponsive. The helicopter then collided with the ground.
Operational Context
The helicopter was being used for aerial application, a common agricultural practice. No further details about the specific operation, aircraft type, or location are provided in the source.
Consequences
The source does not specify injuries, damage extent, or fatalities. It only records the collision with the ground following the loss of control due to wire entanglement.
