| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
According to the pilot he took off from a grass runway approximately 3 nm South-West of the land to be sprayed and positioned himself for the first spray run. He descended to spray height and after completion of half of the strip he turned out right due to rising ground to the left to position himself for the next spray run. The aircraft was starting to loose height and was nearing the stall. He immediately dumped the load but was unable to prevent the aircraft from colliding with the ground. The aircraft was substantially damage but the pilot was unhurt. PROBABLE CAUSE: Due to the increase in stalling speed during the turn and a sudden tailwind component the pilot was unable to take timeous corrective action and collided with the ground.
