NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported he was maneuvering at low altitude on an agricultural application flight when the left wing stalled, the nose dropped, and the airplane descended out of control. The airplane then impacted trees and terrain, and came to rest upright about 450 feet from the initial impact location. There was substantial damage to the fuselage, wings, tail surfaces and all control surfaces. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical anomalies with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
