Probable cause
the pilot's delay in aborting the landing and his failure to obtain/maintain sufficient airspeed during the aborted landing, which resulted in an inadvertent stall and collision with the terrain. Factors relating to the accident were: the pilot's improper interpretation of the recommended landing runway, his selection of the wrong runway, and the resultant tailwind.
