Probable cause
The failure of the propeller reduction gearbox and the pilot’s subsequent failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall and spin. Contributing to the accident were the inadequate maintenance of the airplane and the student pilot’s lack of experience in performing emergency procedures.
