CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT
Based on the examination of all elements in possession of this Agency, it can be reasonably believed that the most probable cause of the accident was the loss of control of the aircraft while attempting an off-airport landing. It is highly probable that the pilot executed a maneuver that led to a stall, resulting in an impact with the ground in a highly nose-down attitude.
