Read the full NTSB narrative
THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE FAILED SECONDS AFTER TAKEOFF ON THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY. THE PILOT HAD INSUFFICIENT ALTITUDE AND SPEED TO DUMP HIS LOAD OF DRY FERTILIZER. THE PLANE STALLED AND TOUCHED DOWN HARD IN A THREE-POINT ATTITUDE AND BOUNCED. THE PLANE THEN WENT OVER ON ITS BACK AND CAME TO REST IN A WHEAT FIELD ABOUT 200 YARDS FROM THE TAKEOFF POINT. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WATER WAS FOUND IN A SUMP AND IN THE CARBURETOR, AND BELIEVED IT HAD COME FROM THE GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. HOWEVER, THE SOURCE OF WATER WAS NOT VERIFIED.
