NTSB narrative
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that upon landing, the aircraft “immediately darted to the left” and ground looped. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing and elevator impacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage to both. The pilot indicated that he may have inadvertently applied pressure to the left toe brake during touchdown.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in aground loop.

- 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, coordinates, 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.
