| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft was on a crop-spraying detail. The pilot completed the first spray run and when he turned the aircraft to carry out the second spray run he misjudged the height of the conductors of the power-lines passing at the end of the field. The undercarriage of the aircraft impacted with the conductors, causing it to crash in the field that was being sprayed. The aircraft came to rest upside-down in the field, but the pilot was not injured. PROBABLE CAUSE: The pilot misjudged the aircraft’s height above the electrical conductors and the aircraft’s landing gear impacted with the conductors. This caused the aircraft to crash in the field the pilot was busy spraying.
