## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: MR. FLOYD HAYES STRUCK TWO POWER LINES AS HE WAS MAKING A NIGHT VISUAL APPROACH TO THE MIDLOTHIAN/WAXAHACHIE AIRPORT THE EVENING OF JANUARY 19, 1994, IN A CESSNA 414A, N5672C. THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT PROPELLER, LOWER WING SKIN, NOSE GEAR STRUT, AND NUMEROUS NOSE PANELS AND DOORS. THE POWER LINES INVOLVED ARE LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE FROM THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT INITIATED A GO-AROUND AFTER STRIKING THE WIRES, AND PROCEEDED TO THE TYLER POUNDS FIELD AIRPORT, A FLIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES DURATION. NEITHER PASSENGERS, NOR THE PILOT WERE INJURED. THE WIRES INVOLVED ARE 5/16THS INCHES THICK. THEY ARE "COMMON" WIRES, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY CARRY NO ELECTRICITY. THIS REPORT CLOSES THIS INVESTIGATION AND INCIDENT REPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
