What happened
During the landing phase, the Cessna 180H was in a three-point landing flare attitude just above the runway when the nose began to yaw to the right. The pilot attempted to correct this yaw by applying left rudder input; however, the aircraft made contact with the runway before the rudder input could stabilize the yaw angle.
Upon the main wheels touching the runway, the pilot lost control of the aircraft, which subsequently entered a ground loop. There were no injuries reported in the accident.
Findings
An examination of the pilot's flight records indicated that the pilot had less than 30 hours of flight time specifically in the Cessna 180H and possessed less than 50 hours of total experience operating tailwheel aircraft.
