Probable cause
The total loss of engine power shortly after takeoff as a result of the private pilot’s failure to ensure the fuel selector was in the appropriate position and the certified flight instructor’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack at the time of the engine power loss, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of airplane control.
