CESSNA A188B
THE PILOT MADE TWO PASSES TO SURVEY THE FIELD TO BE SPRAYED. HE STATED THAT ON HIS THIRD PASS, HE PULLED UP, MADE A SHALLOW LEFT TURN, LEVELED OFF, AND STARTED LOOKING TO THE RIGHT FOR OBSTRUCTIONS. REPORTEDLY, THE AIRCRAFT STARTED INTO A 10 DEGREE DIVE AT THAT TIME. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE REACHED FOR THE TRIM AND STARTED PULLING BACK ON THE STICK, BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED INTO A STEEP DIVE AND CRASHED. NO MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE REPORTED CONTROL PROBLEM.
