THE PLT STATED THAT HE HAD BEEN FERTILIZING RICE CROPS THE MORNING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT FLT AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ACFT. HE FURTHER STATED THAT ON THE ACCIDENT FLT HE HAD ALREADY INITIATED THE TAKEOFF ROLL, WHEN HE REALIZED THAT THE FLT CONTROLS WERE LOCKED. ACCORDING TO THE PLT, BY THE TIME HE UNLOCKED THE CONTROLS THE ACFT HAD BECOME AIRBORNE AND HAD ESTABLISHED ITSELF IN A CRITICAL ATTITUDE FROM WHICH HE COULD NOT RECOVER.
