There is no evidence which permits the investigation to determine with certainty the actual cause of the accident. It is considered a reasonable deduction that: - The pilot was unfit for flight due to fatigue, - He stalled the aircraft while flying very low down wind with landing gear down, - The aircraft was much too low to recover from the stall.
