Accident & incident history

2016-07-23 Accident · Zamora, CA Damage: Substantial Fatal injury NTSB · WPR16FA148B
Reported aircraft: Air Tractor AT 502B
Probable cause: The failure of both pilots to maintain an adequate visual lookout, which resulted in a midair collision. Also causal was the other pilot's use of two sedating antihistamines and two impairing medication and the effect of sun glare on his visual lookout, which likely led to his inability to successfully see and avoid the other airplane.
