Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE ARPT WAS IN A VALLEY SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS & THE ELEVATION WAS ABOUT 6800 FT. WITH THE WIND OUT OF THE NORTHWEST, RWY 33 WAS THE MOST FAVORABLE FOR THE TAKEOFF. THERE WAS A RIDGE ABOUT 1/2 MI NORTH OF THE ARPT MAKING IT NECESSARY TO TURN EAST & FLY OUT OF THE VALLEY ALONG A ROAD. ALSO, THE TEMP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 70 DEG. THE ACFT WAS REFUELED TO THE MIN FUEL LOAD FOR THE TRIP. THE PLT STATED THAT AFTER TAKEOFF, HE TURNED TO THE EAST, THEN ENCOUNTERED DOWNDRAFTS & TURBULENCE & COULD NOT CLIMB. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT HIT POWER LINES, BUT CONTINUED FLYING & WAS LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
