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 was spraying 2/4/D when one spray nozzle stuck open. Rather than kill alfalfa and trees during the turnarounds, the plt elected to land on a dirt road and repair the nozzle. He misjudged the width of the road and on touchdown, the right wing touched down on top of a fence. The plt moved the acft to the left to get off the fence and the left wheel went off the road into soft dirt. The acft flipped forward to the inverted position.
