The pilot had operated into the strip two weeks prior to the accident flight, and saw a powerline that had apparently been diverted underground, near one end. After checking with his passengers who were familiar with the area, a landing was made. On this flight, a flatter approach was made and the nose leg snagged on the powerline, causing the aircraft to impact the ground in a steep nose-down attitude. The 10 metre high powerline had been diverted to cross the approach area, above ground, 274 metres from the threshold.
