In his statement, the private pilot said he was conducting a local flight to practice landings and take a friend for a ride. Upon returning to the airport, the pilot made a three-wheel landing and encountered a gust of wind. He initially recovered, and then encountered a second gust of wind. The aircraft ground looped off the runway and rolled into a ditch before coming to a stop.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind condition, which led to a loss of directional control and an inadvertent ground loop.
