All runways at Derby are Code 1, therefore to meet CAA licensing standards have better than a 1:20 m (5%) obstacle free approach slope gradient, as this slope starts 30 metres before the threshold. The offending power lines must have been below this approach slope, otherwise the runway would not have been licensed. Draw your own conclusions why the power lines were hit.
