DURING A DARK NIGHT ILS APPROACH, BEING FLOWN BY THE CFI RATED PASSENGER, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A SET OF POWER LINES 200 YARDS FROM THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY. THIS WAS THE FOURTH APPROACH TO RUNWAY 22 WHEN THE WIRE STRIKE OCCURRED. FOLLOWING THE INITIAL WIRE CONTACT THE CFI APPLIED POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THEM. FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF POWER THE AIRPLANE VEERED LEFT AND STRUCK A SECOND SET OF WIRES AND DESCENDED TO GROUND IMPACT. THE PIC/OWNER REPORTED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS TWO DOTS LOW ON THE ILS GLIDESLOPE JUST PRIOR TO THE WIRE STRIKE.
Probable Cause: THE CFI RATED SECOND PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE ILS GLIDESLOPE. A FACTOR WAS THE DARK NIGHT AND LACK OF SUPERVISION.
