Sometimes, "**** happens."

I'm sure the FAA will be very interested in every detail of the instruction
up until that point, looking at the student's logbook, school/CFI/CAP
records, aircraft records, and anything else they can find. The whole
situation will likely be scrutinized very carefully. But, sometimes,
despite the best of intentions and what seems like good judgement, accidents
occur. Even to experienced pilots.
