Accident Overview
A private pilot flying a tailwheel airplane equipped with tundra tires experienced a ground loop while landing on a dry paved runway. The pilot reported that the initial touchdown and landing roll were uneventful until the aircraft's nose veered slightly to the left. In response, the pilot applied right rudder input, but the airplane suddenly ground looped to the left.
Sequence of Events
During the ground loop, the right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing struck the runway surface. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the right wing and the right wing struts. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Aircraft Information
The accident aircraft was a tailwheel-configured airplane with tundra tires. No further details regarding the make, model, or registration were provided in the source.
Pilot Actions
The pilot, a certificated private pilot, attempted to correct the leftward veer by applying right rudder. Despite this input, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled ground loop, leading to structural damage.
Conclusions
The investigation did not identify any preexisting mechanical issues. The source does not provide a probable cause for the accident.
