Probable cause & findings
THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE DURING THE LANDING ROLL.
Factual narrative
THE PRIVATE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND HIS CESSNA 180 AIRPLANE IN A RIGHT QUARTERING HEAD WIND OF APPROXIMATELY 07 KNOTS. THE RIGHT WING LIFTED ABRUPTLY DURING THE LANDING ROLL AND THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION QUICKLY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE AIRPLANE GROUND-LOOPED TO THE RIGHT AND NOSED OVER. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
