## 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

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- In flight collision with object, landing - aborted
  - object - wire,transmission (contributing factor)
  - go-around - delayed, pilot in command(cfi) (cause)
  - object - residence

## 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.
