| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was spraying a field with north-south passes. During a left turn from the south toward the north, the airplane impacted the ground with the left wing down on a southeasterly heading. Due to the pilot's injuries, he did not recall the accident sequence. Examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
Strong westerly wind at the time of the accident likely created a ground track challenge during the turnaround. Based on the airplane's impact with the left wing down and significant forward groundspeed, the pilot likely either exceeded the critical angle of attack or developed a high sink rate during the turnaround and was not able to regain control prior to ground impact.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control during an aerial spray turnaround in high crosswind conditions.
