From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
UAS, agras T-40, was spraying a field and hit a single strand thin powerline and crashed. Prior to the flight, the field was pre-flown and scanned for powerlines and other obstacles. The UAS was in auto flight mode and the sensors did not see and avoid the powerline. No one saw the thin powerline as it was obscured from their vantage point by a tree.
