| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
After flying one circuit at the Bex Airport, the pilot decided to go around. The aircraft flew too low, with full flaps, struck a high-voltage(132kV) cable that runs parallel to the runway and fell into trees.
The throttle was found to be set at approximately the half-way position below full. The pilot might have released the cetral button before reaching full power position, which caused the premature locking of the control.
Cause:
The accident is attributable to a collision with a high-voltage cable following an attempted
go-around following a balked landing.
