NTSB narrative

The flight instructor and pilot were conducting a currency flight with the pilot at the flight controls of the tailwheel equipped airplane. The takeoff, flight around the traffic pattern, and landing approach were normal. The pilot executed a wheel landing; however, the airplane encountered a “rough spot on the turf runway” and bounced. When the airplane touched down again, it entered a ground loop which resulted in a runway excursion. During the accident sequence, the left wing contacted the ground resulting in substantial damage to the wing spar and aileron. The flight instructor and pilot reported that there were no airplane anomalies before the ground loop.

Probable cause

The pilot’s loss of control during landing.

  • Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
  • Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, cause areas. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
  • The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
