Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that the airplane ground looped as it slowed following a 3-point, full stall landing. The airplane departed the runway and the left main wheel contacted the raised asphalt of the parallel taxiway. The left landing gear collapsed and the left wing contacted the ground resulting in substantial damage to the left wing, fuselage, and empennage. The pilot stated that there was no mechanical failure of the airplane that would have resulted in the loss of control. The pilot reported the local winds were light and variable at the time of the accident.
