The aircraft doesn’t know it’s under power lines
It sure knows when you hit them, as will you. Have my own wire story, flew THROUGH them and avoided touching any, above or below, all luck and no judgement involved. Making a bald statement such as yours does not send a good message to the community, wires surveyed from the ground previously, low flying authorisation etc. For those who think low flying is something to be flagrantly indulged.
The ATSB found no evidence of any engine or airframe defect that may have contributed to the accident. The pilot did not hold any approval to conduct low flying and had not received training in the identification of hazards or in the operating techniques for flight close to the ground. There was no operational reason identified for the pilot to have been flying at such a low altitude on the day of the accident. The evidence also indicated that the pilot had a history of unauthorized low flying.
