The commercial pilot was performing a familiarization flight in the tailwheel-equipped airplane.

The airplane subsequently went off the left side of the runway and into a ditch, causing substantial damage to the airplane.
The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll.
