What happened
An airline transport certificated pilot was performing a landing on a remote turf airstrip. The pilot reported landing toward the southeast, noting that the aircraft began to yaw slightly to the left during the landing roll. In an attempt to correct the deviation, the pilot applied the right brake; however, the aircraft began to slide to the left across the grass-covered runway.
As the aircraft moved, the left tire entered an area of willows located along the left edge of the airstrip. During this maneuver, the right brake suddenly became effective, causing the aircraft to yaw and undergo a ground loop to the right. The impact resulted in the left wing striking the ground, which bent the left wingtip upward by approximately 10 degrees.
The investigation
The inspection of the Cessna (type not specified in source) revealed that the aircraft sustained damage to the left wing spar, the left aileron, and the fuselage. There were no injuries reported following the incident.
