Probable cause
<p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;line-height:108%;font-size:12pt;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:'Roboto';background-color:#ffffff;">The pilot’s loss of control due to spatial disorientation while operating in instrument meteorological conditions. Contributing to the accident were the controller’s failure to issue an appropriate intercept angle for the final approach course, failure to advise the pilot that vectors would take the airplane through the final approach course, and the pilot’s entry of an incorrect heading into the autopilot. </span></p>
