Ok, I know, how do you ground loop a tricycle gear aircraft? Probably by landing too fast, force it to the runway and bounce a couple of times, then slam on the brakes while plane is not aligned with runway centerline. I never criticize a go around as the pilots is aware of the situation and correcting it. Many blame the wind or gusts. Need to get proficient in landing at correct numbers. Also tailwheel solo practice and endorsement is invaluable.
