If he were not IFR rated then almost for sure this would have
been specifically mentioned by the NTSB and included as part of the
probable
cause.

They don't include probable causes in preliminary reports. This is just a
statement of facts. A probable cause will come out in a year or two . . .
Or perhaps tomorrow on this one since the probable cause kinda smacks you
upside the face.
