Probable Cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to practice slow flight maneuvers at an altitude that precluded a recovery from the inadvertent stall after the turbulence encounter.
