No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft entered a stall due to an excessive bank angle during a sharp turn at low altitude. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 8 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An agricultural aircraft crashed into a field following a stall during a sharp turn while performing spraying operations.
What happened
During a scheduled crop spraying mission, an aircraft was operating at a low altitude to complete its task. While the pilot-in-command was executing a sharp turning maneuver, the aircraft reached a bank angle of 50 degrees. During this turn, the aircraft entered a stall condition, leading to a loss of control.
The aircraft subsequently impacted a field. There were two occupants on board at the time of the accident, and both sustained injuries as a result of the crash.
Findings
The accident occurred during the low-altitude phase of flight while performing agricultural spraying.
The primary factor in the loss of control was an aerodynamic stall triggered by an aggressive banking maneuver.
Probable cause
The aircraft entered a stall due to an excessive bank angle during a sharp turn at low altitude.
