Agree FM, just goes to show how hard they are to spot. Lucky the old man survived from the fear of injury to his grandson .. poor bugga. Thank God the injuries were minor.

True, it would be better if there markers. But, presumably, the pilot did a full circuit. That's what a circuit is for - to pick up things like power lines.

In additiona to balls on the powerlines should that airstrip also have a displaced threshold.

Yes if the line and balls are within or above the glide slope

Who's responsible for the safety of the flight?? The PIC.. Its his duty to determine the serviceability of an airfield/strip/ paddock. This powerline didnt spontaneously materialise. Very glad all are ok.

 

I dont like seeing sh!t hanging on windscreens either, gps's, fluffy dice, hockey straps, all good places for powerlines and aircraft to hide behind.

 

yea Alf, looks like a foxbat to me.
