| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was on his 3rd spray run at line 39 when he attempted to bank left to make another approach to complete the task. The aircraft was hit by a strong tail wind and in the midst of adding power, the pilot lost altitude and airspeed forcing the aircraft to land on 2 chicken cages instead of landing in an open space.
The pilot suffered minor injuries on his left arm.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board determined that the probable cause of this accident was due to the pilot's inadequate compensation for the tailwind and failure to attain and maintain airspeed, which resulted in an inadvertent stall following the loss of altitude and a subsequent right wing drop.
Contributory factors:
a. Factors contributing to the accident were the strong tailwind.
b. Inadequate preflight planning and preparation, conducted by the pilot of RP-R3024.
