After taking off on an aerial agriculture flight, the aircraft was observed to turn left at low altitude and dump the load. The left wing continued to drop and the aircraft collided with the ground.
The following factors were determined to have contributed to the accident.
1. Wind conditions, which were conducive to windshear and turbulence, were present in the area.
2. The aircraft was climbing at near maximum weight.
3. The aircraft was climbing into rising ground.
4. The aircraft was operating at a high-density altitude, which would have placed it near its performance limit.
4. Control of the aircraft was lost with insufficient height to effect recovery
The plane was rebuilt and crashed on 31 December 2017 with a total of six fatalities.
