| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, on touchdown the airplane bounced, touched down a second time and pulled to the right. He attempted to correct with elevator and left brake but was unsuccessful. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder and wing lift strut.
The pilot reported that after the accident, the airplane was righted and with considerable drag and right-turning tendency, the airplane was pushed to a hangar. The pilot stated that he examined the tailwheel assembly and area and did not find any damage. The pilot also removed the main landing gear tires for transport before an examination could be conducted, thus compromising the integrity of the brake assemblies and precluded an accurate postaccdent follow-up examination of the brake system.
Probable Cause: A loss of directional control during landing for reasons that could not be determined due to lack of available evidence.
