| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was landing the tailwheel-equipped airplane when it veered into the grass left of the runway and the left wing impacted a windsock pole. The airplane ground looped to the left and the right main landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage. Examination of the airplane revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction that would have precluded normal operation of the rudder pedals or brakes. The circumstances of the accident are consistent with the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
