Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH WIRES AFTER A LOSS OF ALT DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB WHILE ON A NIGHT VFR FLT. THE PLT INDICATED THAT IT TOOK 3/4 OF THE RWY TO GET AIRBORNE AND THE ACFT DID NOT SEEM TO CLIMB WITH FULL PWR APPLIED. THE PLT DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE ARPT AND HE TURNED LEFT BECAUSE HE COULD SEE THE HORIZON BETTER. THE ARPT IS 5,600 FT MSL. BASED ON THE PLT'S REPORTED TEMPERATURE OF 60 DEG F, A DENSITY ALT OF 6,800 FT MSL WOULD HAVE EXISTED. THE TERRAIN SOUTHEAST OF THE ARPT, WHICH WOULD BE TO THE LEFT OF THE PLT AFTER HIS TAKEOFF, RISES TO A MAX ELEVATION OF 6,012 FT MSL WITHIN 3 MILES OF THE ARPT.
