What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
PIC experienced loss of control (LOC) of the conventional gear, agricultural aircraft during landing rollout. Landing area was a dry, graded road adjacent to the farm field where the PIC was applying economic poisons. A canal approximately 50 feet wide and 10 feet deep bordered the north (left) side of the landing area. The aircraft came to rest in the canal with the nose and tail supported by the opposite banks. Damage is substantial due to flight control damage on the right wing and empennage.
