What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-5)On normal three point touch down, the tail wheel vibrated intensely throwing the airplane to the right. Full left rudder would not arrest the veering to the right. Our investigation found that the idle fuel pressure was below minumum pressure which caused the engine to quit on roll out. Pilot was distracted upon landing and ground looped the aircraft. The investigation closed.
