NTSB Accident & Incident Record

Sep 15, 2013 Accident Substantial Lund, NV
InjuriesNone
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 091
Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to monitor the environment, which led to a collision with power lines during climbout. Contributing to the accident was the loss of engine power during low-altitude flight for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation, which led to a forced landing that the pilot subsequently aborted when the engine regained full power.
