Probable cause
The pilot's improper decision to attempt a downwind landing and his failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering during a go-around and subsequent landing attempt, which resulted in exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's inadequately controlled depression, which impaired his decision-making.
