You have finished the main spray runs and are about to conduct a clean up run.
Power lines crisscross the paddock. You know where they are, and have been actively avoiding them all day.
But the clean up follows a different path.
Your focus is on the wire to your left, one that wasn't such a concern on earlier runs.
It looks different from this angle -- a hazard, but easily managed.
Except you forget about the wire on the diagonal.
You suddenly see it approaching and immediately pull up.
Your aircraft starts to respond but it's too late.
Every year many aerial agriculture pilots hit power lines while flying.
Although pilots often walk away with only a damaged aircraft, tragically, some are not so lucky.
But these accidents are avoidable.
