Incident Overview
After landing on a runway, the pilot of an airplane was instructed by air traffic control to taxi without delay and exit at a designated taxiway. While proceeding along the runway, the airplane veered to the right before reaching the intended exit. It subsequently ground-looped, nosed over, and came to rest inverted.
Pilot Statement
The pilot reported that a Boeing 737, which had landed just before his airplane, blew him over as the larger aircraft was turning off the runway. According to the pilot, the wake from the Boeing 737 caused his airplane to veer and ground loop.
Witness Accounts
Witnesses on the ground provided a different account of the events. They stated that the Boeing 737 had already landed approximately two minutes earlier and was taxiing back on a parallel taxiway when the incident airplane touched down. At the time the smaller aircraft veered off the runway and ground-looped, the Boeing 737 was positioned abeam (adjacent) to it on the taxiway.
Sequence of Events
The incident unfolded after the landing rollout. The pilot was directed to expedite taxiing and remain on the runway until reaching the specified taxiway. The airplane began to deviate from its path, turned sharply right, and then completed a ground loop before flipping onto its back. The aircraft remained inverted at the conclusion of the event.
