Narrative:On October 14, 1998, at about 1300 central daylight time, an Ayres S2R, N3093B, operating as a 14 CFR Part 137 aerial application flight, registered to a private owner, crashed in the vicinity of Frisco City, Alabama. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was destroyed by postcrash fire. The commercial pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from a private airport about 5 minutes before the accident.
The pilot stated he took off to the east with full flaps. He made a left crosswind and climbed to 200 feet. He raised the flaps and made a power reduction. The airplane shuddered, he lowered the nose, and added power. The left wing dropped down, the airplane stalled, and collided with the ground.
The FAA stated, "It is my opinion due to the evidence gathered and statements taken that Mr. Casey stalled the aircraft at 200 feet with no altitude to recover."
PROBABLE CAUSE:The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed on climb out resulting in an inadvertent stall, and subsequent in-flight collision with terrain.
