| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot made four landings to the stolport without mishap. During his fifth approach he collided with power lines because, according to the pilot, he was too low and could not arrest the homebuilt airplane's descent rate in time to avoid the power lines on final approach. The airplane collided with the wires and a dirt berm about 115 yards prior to the beginning of the dirt airstrip.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged distance/altitude during final approach to landing, which led to an undershoot and subsequent collision with obstacles.
