| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft owner stated that he holds a flight instructor certificate and was showing another flight instructor, who has no tail wheel experience, how to land a conventional gear aircraft. The aircraft owner was in the right seat while the second flight instructor occupied the left seat. The owner reported that they had performed several touch-and-go landings with the second flight instructor manipulating the flight controls. On the accident landing, the aircraft had just touched down on the main wheels when a crosswind gust lifted the left wing. The flying pilot was unable to maintain directional control of the aircraft and it veered to the right, ran off the runway, and struck a runway sign with the right wing.
Probable Cause: the flying pilot's inadequate compensation for the existing crosswind condition, his failure to maintain directional control, and the inadvertent entry into a ground loop. A factor in the accident was the flying pilot's lack of experience in conventional landing gear aircraft.
