## Narrative

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

PART 137 PILOT COMPLETED SPRAYING FIELD AND WAS COMPLETING END PASS AND AS HE ENTERED ONE OF THE SMALL FIELDS HE SIGHTED THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A SET OF FARM WIRES AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPED SPRAYING AND PULLED UP ABRUPTLY BUT UNFORTUNATELY WENT THROUGH AND CUT THE WIRE.  THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY MAJOR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT, AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO HOME BASE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENTS.

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.
