## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE GROUND LOOPED RIGHT AFTER LANDING. HE STATED THAT THE WIND WAS CALM. ONE OF THE PASSENGERS, WHO IS A PILOT TOLD HIM THAT HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A SLIGHT CROSS WIND FROM THE RIGHT. THE PILOT SAID HE MIGHT HAVE RELAXED THE BACK PRESSURE ON THE YOKE AFTER LANDING, WHICH COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AFTER LANDING. THE PILOT INDICATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE CONSISTING OF SCRAPES TO THE LEFT FIBER GLASS WING TIP AND THE OUTBOARD SECTION OF THE LEFT AILERON. THE OUTBOARD SECTION OF THE HUB OF LEFT WHEEL WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE ALSO SOME SCRATCHES TO THE ELEVATOR. THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION OF DAMAGE WAS CONFIRMED BY A MECHANIC AT MCCALL AIR TAXI. THE PILOT WAS GIVEN COUNSELING VIA THE TELEPHONE BY INSPECTOR CHET WAITE. NO FURTHER ACTION, CASE CLOSED.
