Probable cause
The flight instructor’s failure to maintain control of the multiengine airplane after a partial loss of engine power on one engine during a go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was the mechanic’s failure to check the condition/security of the right engine’s carburetor throttle arm linkage during the annual inspection, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power.
