Probable cause

The pilot's inadequate flare and bounced landing which resulted in loss of directional control of the airplane during the landing roll.

NTSB narrative

The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing roll, she had a small bounce before setting all three wheels on the ground. She was unable to apply enough rudder control to stop the airplane from entering an uncontrolled ground loop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
