LAKE TAHOE PROPERTIES INC CA 8 near Davenport, WA — 2025-07-28

Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.

NTSB narrative

The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that upon touchdown the airplane bounced twice. As the airplane slowed, the pilot applied the brakes, and the airplane veered to the right. He corrected with hard left rudder; however, the airplane then veered to the left and exited the runway surface. Subsequently, the airplane ground looped, and the left wing struck the ground, which resulted in substantial damage to the left aileron. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 24 with wind from 240° at 11 knots.
