"From what i know, the wire is somewhat 150-200 Meters away from the RWY."

There is another wire as you can see on the airport diagram a page earlier

"Visibility was not bad, more than 10 Kilometers."

That does not agree with the pictures taken right after the accident, the hill tops are not even visible and the cloudbase is low

it does not make sense then that he hit a cable so far from the runway and banked 60 degr if the wx had been so great he?

"30000+ hours"

does not mean a thing.even with all the gadgets on board.

something smells not right about this accident...the facts do not add up.....unless the cable was raised 1000 ft up or the pilot was not wearing his glasses and the co pilot happened to look just the other way

or was he afraid to speak up or interfere? was he flying with a management pilot perhaps, intimidated by his experience?

an old pilot told me once:your priorities in flying should always be :Life-Licence-Job. that has and will not change.fly safe.
