Accident Overview
According to the pilot's report, the accident occurred while operating an aerial applicator airplane at low altitude during a gender reveal event. The pilot stated that he had released approximately 350 gallons of pink-dyed water as part of the celebration. Shortly after the dump, the airplane "got too slow," entered an aerodynamic stall, impacted the terrain, and came to rest inverted.
Damage and Mechanical Status
Post-accident inspection revealed substantial damage to the fuselage, right wing, and empennage. The pilot reported that no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions existed that would have prevented normal operation of the aircraft.
Occupants and Flight Circumstances
The Federal Aviation Administration inspector who responded to the scene noted that the accident occurred during a low pass for the gender reveal. The inspector additionally stated that two persons were on board the airplane, which is a single-seat aircraft. No further details were provided regarding the occupants' condition.
No Additional Findings
The source document does not specify aircraft type, registration, operator, location, date, time of day, or weather conditions. No analysis or causal factors beyond the aerodynamic stall attributed to low speed were presented by the pilot or investigators.
