Probable cause
the pilot's improper preflight planning, his attempted flight into adverse weather conditions, and the stall resulting in the loss of control and subsequent crash. Factors contributing to the accident were the pilot's inadequate evaluation of the weather conditions, the airplane exceeding its gross weight limitations, and the dry microburst from thunderstorms located near the airport.
