## Narrative

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

ON JULY 22, 2017, N4200S, AN AIR TRACTOR 502 CAUGHT THE TOP NEUTRAL WIRE OF A POWERLINE WITH HIS LANDING GEAR WHILE SPRAYING MESQUITE BRUSH NEAR MASTERSON TEXAS.  THE COMMERCIALLY RATED PILOT WAS ABLE TO LAND IN AN OPEN PRAIRIE AND EXITED THE AIRCRAFT, NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

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.
