Tailwheel Cessna 180H Ground Loop During Landing (N2790X)

Incident Description and Pilot Report The pilot stated that the aircraft was in a three-point landing flare attitude just above the runway when the nose began to yaw to the right. He reported applying a left rudder input to correct the yaw, but the aircraft touched down before the rudder input corrected the yaw angle. After the main wheels contacted the runway, the pilot said he lost control and the aircraft ground looped. ## Pilot Experience Examination of the pilot's reported flight time showed that he had less than 30 hours of time in the Cessna 180H aircraft and less than 50 hours of total tailwheel flight experience.
