Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The pilot reported that, during landing in the tailwheel-equipped airplane with a crosswind, the airplane touched down on the main wheels and bounced. During the second bounce, he applied full back stick pressure to place the tailwheel on the ground. Aileron and directional control inputs were applied to counteract the gusting crosswind, but the airplane veered right, exited the runway, and ground looped. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing, horizontal stabilizer, and elevator. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
 
 
 



Probable Cause: The pilot's improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing, and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control during landing with a gusting crosswind, which resulted in a ground-loop.
