What happened
During an attempt at a three-point landing, the pilot allowed the main wheels to contact the runway before the nose wheel, causing the aircraft to bounce back into the air. Upon the second touchdown, with all three wheels on the ground, the tower controller inquired if the pilot could utilize the next available taxiway.
In response to this inquiry, the pilot looked toward the taxiway to assess the feasibility of the turnoff. While the pilot's attention was diverted, the aircraft began veering to the left. An attempt to realign the aircraft with the runway centerline was unsuccessful, and the aircraft almost immediately entered a ground loop. During the maneuver, one wing struck the runway surface, causing the aircraft to tip up onto its nose.
