FOLLOWING AT LEAST THREE SUCCESSFUL PRACTICE LOW APPROACHES TO A FARM FIELD, THE STUDENT PILOT CLIMBED OVER A SMALL WOODED AREA AND DID A 180 DEGREE TURN TO PERFORM AN APPROACH TO ANOTHER FIELD. HE FLEW DOWN TO WITHIN 20 FEET OF THE GROUND, THEN APPLIED FULL POWER TO CLIMB BACK UP. DURING THE GO-AROUND, HIS RIGHT WING STRUCK THE HIGHEST LINE OF A POWER LINE ARRAY AT THE END OF THE FIELD. THE AIRCRAFT YAWED AND LOST ALTITUDE; HOWEVER, THE STUDENT RECOVERED AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AT AN AIRFIELD ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY.
