Probable cause
Loss of control by the pilot due to inadequate preflight planning and preparation which resulted in over gross weight aircraft loading. A factor relating to the accident was the high density altitude weather conditions.

NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
