Probable cause

The pilot’s loss of visibility in the cockpit due to foam created by the chemicals loaded in the hopper, which resulted in his inability to maintain airplane control during low-level flight and an impact with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the combining of chemicals known to produce foam and the pilot’s failure to perform a jar test before flight as recommended.
