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 operator reported that the pilot was making a left turn to line up with the flagman when the aircraft stalled and went down into trees. The temperature was reported to be 95 deg. There was no mention of injuries in the operator's accident report (therefore, the injury index is presumed).
