| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot, who had accumulated approximately three hours flight time in this make and model aircraft prior to the accident flight, had not flown the airplane in about 18 months. He flew it around the area for about one hour getting reacquainted with its characteristics, and then attempted a full-stop landing. Although the touchdown was uneventful, during the landing roll, the aircraft started drifting to the left. The pilot therefore applied right rudder, but over-corrected. Before he could get the aircraft realigned with the runway, the left main gear collapsed, and the left lower wing impacted the runway surface.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the tailwheel-equipped aircraft during the landing roll. Factors include the pilot's low total time in this make and model aircraft and his lack of recent experience in this make and model aircraft.
