Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The pilot lost directional control of the airplane during landing and it ground looped. During the landing touchdown the airplane bounced, and the pilot attempted to salvage the landing. He said that he either overcontrolled the airplane or hit a brake. The plane veered off the runway, and spun around to the right striking the left wing tip on the ground and separating the left wheel.
Probable Cause: the pilot misjudged the flare resulting in a bounced landing. Also causal was the pilot's inadequate recovery from the bounced landing resulting in a loss of directional control.
