The pilot reported that, “about half way through the [landing] rollout I lost control of the aircraft and ground looped to the right.” During the ground loop, the left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing impacted the runway.
The left wing sustained substantial damage.
The pilot failed to submit the National Transportation Safety Board NTSB Form 6120.1 Pilot/ Operator Aircraft Accident/ Incident Report after multiple requests.
An automated weather observation station, 5 nautical miles from the accident airport, recorded that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 120° at 20 knots, gusting to 28 knots. The pilot reported that the landing was on runway 30.
Probable Cause: The pilot's decision to land with a gusting tailwind and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control.
