Read the full NTSB narrative
During landing rollout the airplane veered off the left side of runway 16R, ground looped, and the lower right wing contacted the ground. According to the pilot, he was unable to keep his airplane on the runway because a gusty crosswind condition existed. The pilot said he had a total of 9.3 hours of pilot-in-command flying experience in the airplane. Van Nuys Airport reported its local wind was from 100 to 110 degrees, at 10 knots.
