SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF DURING AN AERIAL APPLICATION OPERATION, THE PILOT SAID HE WAS UNABLE TO ESTABLISH A POSITIVE CLIMB. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 1 MILE, HE ELECTED TO DUMP HIS DRY FERTILIZER LOAD. WHEN HE DUMPED THE LOAD, THE INCREASED AERODYNAMIC DRAG CAUSED BY THE AIR BLOCK ON THE LARGE SPREADER, PLUS THE HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND DENSITY ALTITUDE AND COMPARATIVELY LOW AIRSPEED, CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO STALL/MUSH INTO THE TERRAIN.
