NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that the airplane veered to the right and then left. He corrected the veer to the right but “didn’t get on it quick enough to stop the turn.” The airplane continued to the left and ground looped.
A postaccident examination revealed that the airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observation station on the airport reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 190° at 6 knots. The pilot landed on runway 26.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll with crosswind conditions.
