| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, while on final approach for landing, the airplane impacted powerlines and collided with the ground, resulting in substantial damage. He stated that he knew of the powerlines, but stated that he had not checked the airport/facility directory, which noted the placement and height of the powerlines.
Examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. A review of airport information revealed that the powerlines were located 50 ft from the runway threshold and were 60 ft tall. The accident is consistent with the pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a known obstacle during the landing approach.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from powerlines during the visual approach.
