Excellent report but I would reverse the root and proximate cause:

ROOT CAUSE: Low hour pilot flying in advanced conditions

  • 4:00 pm in July & August is MID DAY
  • 14 mph with with gusts to 21 mph ARE ADVANCED CONDITIONS
  • Low hour pilots don’t have the experience to know that they are SLAVE TO THE WEATHER
