## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 4, 2013 AT 5:16 CDT AN AIR TRACTOR 802A, REGISTRATION NUMBER N503FA, SERIAL NUMBER 802A-0503 CONTACTED POWER LINES AT THE END OF A FIELD.  THE PILOT FOLLOWED PROCEDURES AND DUMPED THE CHEMICAL LOAD ON TO A PASTURE.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN RETURNED TO THE OPERATOR'S PRIVATE LANDING STRIP.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

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.
