Primary finding
Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of directional control while taxiing at high speed, which resulted in a ground loop.
Investigator assessment
Analysis narrative
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, after landing, he made a right turn onto a taxiway and exited the runway at a high speed. The airplane subsequently ground looped, substantially damaging the left wing when it collided with the ground. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
