Accident Overview
During a telephone interview, the pilot reported that while landing, the airplane began to drift toward nearby power lines. He initiated a go-around, but the left wing caught the power lines. The airplane impacted the ground, tumbled several times, and came to rest inverted. The fuselage sustained substantial damage.
Initial Pilot Report
In the initial telephone interview, the pilot stated there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. Based on this report, the airplane was released to the owner, and the brake system was not examined.
Follow-up Statement
In a subsequent written statement, the pilot reported that during the landing on a dirt airstrip, the right-side brake failed due to a ruptured brake line. During the aborted landing, the airplane hit a power pole and wires.
