Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A POWERLINE, CRASHED & BURNED AFTER THE ENGINE LOST POWER ON THE FINAL APPROACH. THE ACFT WAS USING FUEL FROM A TANK THAT WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. THE ACFT HAD MADE A GO-AROUND AND DURING THE PATTERN WAS OBSERVED TO BE OSCILLATING FROM SIDE TO SIDE FROM TURBULENCE OR PLT INPUTS. THE WIND WAS DESCRIBED AS GUSTY AND BUMPY. A PLACARD ON THIS ACFT STATES THAT PROLONGED SLIPS (20 SECONDS OR MORE) MUST BE AVOIDED WITH TANKS LESS THAN HALF FULL. THE ACFT CRASHED ABOUT 1000 FT FROM THE APPROACH END OF THE RWY.
