Flight Conducted Under: Part 137: Agricultural
On August 20, 2020, about 0900 central daylight time, an Air Tractor 602 airplane, N604MG, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Inverness, Mississippi. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight.
In a statement provided by the pilot, he was on short final to land at the private strip. He required more engine power to make the runway so he attempted to advance the power lever, but it would not move. The pilot made a forced landing in a field short of the runway and the airplane came to rest upright.
An initial examination of the power lever revealed that it was stuck near the idle position and could not be moved. The airplane has been retained for further examination.
