Primary finding

Probable cause

The pilot failed to maintain control of the airplane during the landing roll, and inadvertently swerved and ground looped into two parked airplanes. A factor in this accident was the pilot's lack of expereince in this make and model airplane.

Investigator assessment

Analysis narrative

During the landing roll the airplane began to veer to the left of the runway centerline. The pilot attempted to correct the deviation by applying right rudder and right brake, but was not successful in stopping the airplane from drifting to the left. The left main wheel went off the runway pavement into soft, wet ground, which resulted in the airplane ground looping and striking two parked airplanes.
