Analysis
During a touch-and-go landing, the nose gear collided with wires about 1/4 mile short of the runway and the aircraft nosed over into trees. No malfunctions in the equipment were reported. The pilot reported that prior to impact, he was aware of the wires and thought the aircraft was clear over the lines.
