| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that prior to the accident flight and after the last annual inspection, the airplane had displayed poor (soft) braking qualities. This substandard braking capability required the pilot to pump the brakes to adequately decelerate on the ground. The pilot departed for a cross-country flight and did not lock the tailwheel. During landing at the destination airport, he was unable to maintain control of the airplane. The airplane ground looped counterclockwise, resulting in right landing gear collapsing and the right wing sustaining substantial damage. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed the wheel brakes were improperly adjusted.
Probable Cause: The improperly adjusted brakes and the pilot's failure to lock the tailwheel, resulting in a loss of directional control. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to continue flying the airplane with a known brake deficiency.
