I have been looking for some info but yet to find any.
Like the story mentioned they were training the new pilots for the up coming season and if any have ever seen the BA's solo pilot routines it would be easy to understand something going wrong. Especially for a first timer.

Gravity exceeded lift?

i don't know much about the Blues, but i don't think a newbie becomes a solo pilot imediately.

As for the cause - could have been anything. Speculation is pointless....

Prove me wrong.
Other than that small piece of wisdom from Woody...
...and it probably wasn't CFIT...

I should become an aircraft accident investigator. I appear to have a natural talent for it.
