Probable Cause
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack and failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering during an agricultural flight, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and a loss of control at too low of an altitude to recover. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s excessive flap extension during the turn.
