Incident Summary
The aircraft was performing an aerial application turn when the pilot reported that the engine stopped. The subsequent landing was made in a stubble field with terraces.
Landing Sequence
Upon touchdown, the left main landing gear collapsed as the aircraft traversed the terraced terrain. During the landing, the aircraft struck the rising slope of a terrace, causing it to become momentarily airborne. It then landed hard on the left main landing gear, which broke as a result of the impact.
Post-Accident Inspection
A cursory examination by an FAA inspector found no evidence of pre-impact damage or failure in the aircraft engine. Additionally, sufficient fuel was present in the fuel cells after the accident.
