What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot indicated he was spraying a field, making passes east and west. On the last westbound pass, during the turn around to the right, he applied 1 notch of flaps, and the airplane began rolling "violently" to the right and full left aileron would not correct it. He applied full left rudder and the airplane stopped rolling right. When he noticed the airplane was going to hit the ground, he came full aft on the stick and felt it stall just prior to impact. He said he did not think about adding power (from 31.0"mp) or dumping the load.
