Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, while making a stabilized normal approach, he flared too high which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent ground loop. The airplane’s main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
