Analysis narrative
The operator reported that, while landing during a solo instructional flight, the airplane touched down in a three-point attitude and veered left during the roll out. The airplane ground looped to the left and exited the left side of the runway. During the ground loop, the right wing struck the ground. The airplane came to rest about 25 ft from the edge of the runway and sustained substantial damage to the right wing. The operator reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
