Probable cause
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack while maneuvering to land, which resulted in an accelerated stall and the pilot’s subsequent loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the gap in the pilot’s flight experience, his limited recent flight experience, and his limited instruction in the accident airplane.
