The aircraft's nose gear collided with a powerline during an aerial spraying operation. Full power was applied and a descent was initiated to maintain control. Enough control was maintained in order for the aircraft to land on a hillside. The aircraft landed heavily, followed by a violent yaw to the right. During the ground slide, the aircraft rolled inverted, losing its right wing. It then collided with a fence and came to rest the right way up. Despite receiving extensive damage, the aircraft was later repaired and continued to operate until it was destroyed in another crash in New South Wales in 2017.
