Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The airplane struck a transmission cable over a river at about 100 ft AGL. The plt rptd that he inadvertently stalled the airplane while turning to reverse direction during an aerial photo flt, and that he felt a 'bump' during recovery. After returning to the departure arpt, he found that a portion of the vertical stabilizer had been 'sawed off'. A non-plt pax rptd that the airplane was flying essentially straight and level when the impact was felt. The pax did not hear any warning horns or buzzers prior to the impact. She rptd that she did hear a beeping sound when the airplane later landed, though.
