NTSB Factual Report

The aerial application pilot reported that he was "busy looking outside" the cockpit during a low altitude turn. He said that he felt the airplane stall and the airplane subsequently sustained substantial fuselage damage when it impacted terrain. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions that would have prevented normal operations.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's lapse in monitoring the airplane's speed during a low level aerial application maneuver and its subsequent stall during the maneuver.
