Probable cause
the student pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, improper in-flight decision, and his failure to attain the proper climb airspeed during the initial takeoff resulting in an inadvertent stall. The student pilot's lack of total experience, excessive final approach speed, and misjudging the initial flare altitude were factors in this accident.
