| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that following a normal straight-in approach and a 'near perfect 3 point landing', the aircraft rolled straight ahead on the runway centerline for 3 to 5 seconds, then began to turn right. The pilot applied 'full left rudder...with no result.' He then applied full power 'in an attempted go-around.' He stated to investigators that he never attempted differential braking during the event. The aircraft's main gear collapsed as the aircraft heading approached 90 degrees right of the runway heading and the aircraft slid to a stop. Postaccident examination of the Scott model 3200 tailwheel installed on the aircraft revealed that a spring had broken inside the tailwheel assembly, preventing the tailwheel from being steered to the left with the rudder pedals. There is no evidence to indicate that this model tailwheel assembly is currently approved for installation on the aircraft. Available information indicated that the tailwheel assembly had been installed on the aircraft for at least 6 years prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to use brakes to maintain directional control following a tailwheel steering malfunction. Partial failure of the tailwheel steering system contributed to the accident.
