Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt took off with a load of 46-0-0 fertilizer and proceeded to the field to be treated. The plt said when he arrived his flagger was not in position so he initiated a goaround. When the plt had turned 90 deg onto the x-wind leg the acft stalled. The plt initiated recovery but not in time to avoid colliding with the ground. The plt received minor injuries. Winds were reported to be 300 deg at 19 KTS with gusts to 26 KTS.
