| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported he elected to land to the east on the 1,200 feet long turf runway, and touched down near the approach end. Upon applying brakes, the wheels were ineffective on the wet surface, and the pilot elected to abort the landing. He applied power, and the airplane became airborne just past midfield. The airplane then struck a wire 30 feet above the ground, and 400 feet beyond the departure end of the runway with the tailwheel. The pilot reported he was familiar with the airport, aware of and saw the power line, and believed he would clear it. After contacting the wire, the airplane decelerated, and struck the ground in a nose low attitude, beyond the power line. A check of several nearby airports revealed the winds were from 260 to 330 degrees at 6 to 12 knots, reduced visibility's due to light snow, and ceilings between 600 feet and 1100 feet. The pilot reported visibility 10 miles, ceiling 3500 feet overcast, no snow, and winds calm. The FAA reported the airport windsock indicated a wind from the west when they checked the airplane, about 3 hours after the accident. There were no witnesses to the accident.
Probable Cause: was a delayed decision of the pilot to abort the landing. Factors were the wet runway, and the tail winds that prevailed in the area.
