The pilot of the helicopter stated that, during landing, his vision was obscured by the sun and dust from the helicopter's rotor wash. The pilot performed a pedal turn, during which the tail rotor impacted a powerline that was next to a road. The helicopter began to spin, the pilot pulled back on the cyclic and lowered the collective, and the helicopter subsequently impacted the ground. The accident is consistent with the pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the powerline during landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a powerline during landing.
