NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On November 27, 2007, about 1815 central standard time, a single-engine Cessna T210M airplane, N3NG, was destroyed upon impact with powerlines and terrain while on approach to the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport (RVS), near Tulsa, Oklahoma. The commercial pilot was seriously injured and his 2 passengers received fatal injuries. The airplane was registered to Arkansas Aerial Enterprises Inc., Cabot, Arkansas, and operated by the pilot/owner. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 night cross-country flight. The 200-nautical mile cross-country flight departed from RVS around 1800. The flight was destined for the Adams Field Airport (LIT) near Little Rock, Arkansas.

They added that soon after departure, the pilot reported that the airplane had an electrical problem, and needed to return to the airport to land. During the landing approach to the airfield, the airplane collided with trees and a power-line guide wire, which were located just north of the landing threshold for runway 19L. The airplane came to rest in the inverted position about 100 yards north of the airport perimeter fence.

Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the power transmission line(s). Contributing to the accident were the loss of aircraft electrical power, diverted attention, and the night conditions.
