Yep. Though I don't have a low level endorsement, I understand such training covers powerline hazards and recognition. In the US, you can fly as low as you want, without an endorsement, so such a database would benefit - in theory - every licenced pilot in America. Here, it would only be of benefit to those with a LL endorsement as anyone else can't go low except through stress of weather, etc etc.
Isn't that exactly when you need a database of power lines? Just one hole in the Swiss cheese that could be filled in.
