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 pilot was practicing aerial application maneuvers using water as the spray load. He stated that about half way thru his turn to reverse direction, he felt the a/c give a very slight stall warning. He said that he released some back pressure and attempted to roll out of the bank but that it was to late. He did not jettison the load. The acft hit a tree with the left wing, spun around and hit the ground going backwards.
