Narrative:

Aircraft struck unmarked and uncharted power lines. Aircraft was then landed on a beach. If the power lines were charted/marked this probably would not have happened. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states he was about 200 ft AGL due to a carburetor ice condition in which engine failed. He had just restarted the engine and began to climb when he hit the uncharted power lines. His emergency landing was on the beach of the nearby reservoir. The best identifier he could give was just about where the 'a' in massengill airport, northwest of zanesville airport. Aircraft was a C-150 and damage was to propeller, spinner and cowling. The wire was hit on the propeller. For positive identify, reporter suggested contacting the dillon state park at zanesville. The wire was severed and they would know exact location. Reporter described it as a cable running southwest to northeast.

Title: C-150 HITS UNCHARTED PWR LINES WHILE RECOVERING FROM ENG FAILURE.

Narrative: ACFT STRUCK UNMARKED AND UNCHARTED PWR LINES. ACFT WAS THEN LANDED ON A BEACH. IF THE PWR LINES WERE CHARTED/MARKED THIS PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATES HE WAS ABOUT 200 FT AGL DUE TO A CARB ICE CONDITION IN WHICH ENG FAILED. HE HAD JUST RESTARTED THE ENG AND BEGAN TO CLB WHEN HE HIT THE UNCHARTED PWR LINES. HIS EMER LNDG WAS ON THE BEACH OF THE NEARBY RESERVOIR. THE BEST IDENTIFIER HE COULD GIVE WAS JUST ABOUT WHERE THE 'A' IN MASSENGILL ARPT, NW OF ZANESVILLE ARPT. ACFT WAS A C-150 AND DAMAGE WAS TO PROP, SPINNER AND COWLING. THE WIRE WAS HIT ON THE PROP. FOR POSITIVE IDENT, RPTR SUGGESTED CONTACTING THE DILLON STATE PARK AT ZANESVILLE. THE WIRE WAS SEVERED AND THEY WOULD KNOW EXACT LOCATION. RPTR DESCRIBED IT AS A CABLE RUNNING SW TO NE.
