## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ATC ASKED THE PILOT TO KEEP HIS FINAL APPROACH SPEED UP DUE TO A FOLLOWING PART 121 AIR CARRIER JET AIRLINER. THE PILOT COMPLIED. REALIZING THE AIRLINER WAS CLOSE TO HIS AIRPLANE, AND STILL CLOSING, THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE RUNWAY QUICKLY, RESULTING IN A "GROUND LOOP". DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THIS OCCURRED, AND CONSIDERING THE PILOT'S HIGH EXPERIENCE LEVEL IN CE-180 AIRCRAFT, COUNSELING IS CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
