Probable cause

The flight crew’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed and their exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during the instrument approach, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was an undetermined anomaly in the airplane flight director system which resulted in the flight crew likely becoming fixated on the anomaly at the expense of airspeed control.
