## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: A PUBLIC USE AIRPLANE, SPRAYING FOR MOSQUITOES, STRUCK A SMALL POWERLINE. THE AIRCRAFT PROPELLER SEVERED THE POWERLINE AND NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE TO PROPERTY OR THE AIRCRAFT. THE POWERLINE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE MANAGER OF BRAZORIA COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL AND THE PILOT HAVE BOTH BEEN COUNSELED AND BOTH AGREE NOT TO SPRAY IN THAT LOCATION AGAIN. THIS CASE IS CLOSED.
