Probable cause
Failure of the instrucor pilot (CFI) to assure that a timely go-around was made. The obstruction (transmission line) was a related factor.
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 instructor plt (CFI) rprtd that during a landing in calm wind, the speed seemed to be higher than normal, so a go-around (aborted landing) was made. However, during the go-around, the acft did not climb sufficiently. Subsequently, it struck wires, cartwheeled & came to rest on an unoccupied house trailer. No preimpact part failure or malfunction was found.
