Accident Overview
The pilot was flying from the front seat of a two-place, tandem-type airplane, with two passengers seated in the rear. The pilot had recently completed an agricultural flying course and was demonstrating "Ag runs"—simulated agricultural application passes.
Flight Sequence
While overflying a field at approximately 10 feet above ground level (AGL), with a tailwind of about 15 knots, the pilot observed that the airplane's speed had increased. To reduce speed, the pilot reduced the throttle and initiated a turn. Subsequently, the airplane stalled and impacted the ground.
Passenger Statement
One of the passengers reported that a strong tailwind existed during the flight.
Investigation
The investigation did not identify any mechanical anomalies with the airplane. The circumstances described indicate that the stall occurred during a low-altitude turn after a throttle reduction in the presence of a tailwind.
