Probable cause
The flight instructor’s failure to maintain airplane control while maneuvering for a forced landing. Contributing to the accident was the student pilot’s or flight instructor’s inadvertent positioning of the fuel selector valve between the Left Tank and Off positions, which resulted in fuel starvation and a total loss of engine power. Also contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s inadequate fuel monitoring.
