Accident Overview
A certificated commercial pilot was operating a landing on runway 28. The pilot stated that the touchdown and initial landing roll were uneventful. However, during the rollout, the airplane's nose veered slightly to the right. In response, the pilot applied full left rudder input. Instead of correcting the deviation, the airplane suddenly ground looped to the right.
Sequence of Events
As the ground loop developed, the left main landing gear collapsed under the lateral loads. Subsequently, the left wing struck the runway surface. The impact resulted in substantial damage to both the left wing and the fuselage. The wind conditions at the time of the accident were reported as from 190 degrees at 5 knots.
Aircraft Damage
The left wing and fuselage sustained substantial structural damage. The left main landing gear was also collapsed. The extent of damage to other components is not specified in the available information.
