Pilot error. You need some help with such things until you are confident enough.
You know with the simulators out there it's not that hard to tech yourself. I made more progress flying the simulator for 2 months than I would have in a year with the real thing. The simulator is a nice post crash tool. You can set the plane up 'like' the one you are flying. You then put yourself in the situation that caused you to crash. From there you can figure out what caused what to happen.
