What happened
On February 7, 2015, a Cessna A188, registration PT-LOA, was performing agricultural pesticide applications over soybean crops in the rural area of Sentinela do Sul, Brazil. The aircraft had departed from Centeno Aerodrome approximately ten minutes prior to the accident.
During its second application pass, the aircraft was executing a right-hand turn when the propeller struck a lightning arrester cable attached to a high-voltage power grid. This specific cable was positioned approximately 3 meters above the other distribution lines in the network. The impact caused the wire to shift downward, tearing the spray pump and the right landing gear from the aircraft. Following the collision, the aircraft lost control and struck the ground at an angle of approximately 6/0 degrees, overturning 62 meters away from the transmission lines. The impact resulted in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of the pilot.
