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
When the pilot made his first swath run he flew over a set of wires, on the return run he went under the wires. The pilot said he hit his own prop wash and rolled enough for the wing tip to contact the wire.
