Probable cause
The pilot’s flight into convective weather, which resulted in a loss of control due to spatial disorientation and a subsequent inflight breakup of the airplane. Contributing to the accident was the lack of accurate weather intensity depiction on the controller’s display, which limited the controller’s ability to warn the pilot of hazardous weather along the route of flight.
