The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The airplane’s encounter with windshear during landing, which resulted in a hard landing and separation of the right main landing gear, and the pilot’s subsequent decision to leave his seat in flight, which resulted in his fall from the airplane.

Any idea why the Spanish Civil Aviation would have been involved in the investigation? A Spanish name, from Madrid, is listed at the end of the report as an additional participating person.

Thanks!
