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 acft stalled during a spraying operation. The plt received his private pilot's certificate approximately four months prior to the accident. He had no flt time logged in a PA-25 & no information could be found to indicate the plt had received any instruction, ground or flt, in agricultural operations. The plt did not hold a part 137 certificate. The acft was borrowed by the plt from a part 137 operator to spray his own crops.
