Factual narrative
THE PLT SAID HE WAS MAKING A CLEANUP SWATH & ENCOUNTERED SPRAY FROM THE PREVIOUS SWATH RUN. THE SPRAY CONTAINS A DYE WHICH COVERED THE WINDSHIELD & OBSCURED THE PLT'S VISION. THE PLT SAID HE PULLED UP AT THE END OF THE FIELD BUT FAILED TO CLEAR THE TREES. ALTHOUGH THE ACFT WAS DAMAGED, THE PLT WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO THE ARPT & LAND SAFELY.
