## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT WING TIP MADE CONTACT WITH CORN ADJACENT  TO RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT GROUND-LOOPED AND CAME TO REST PARTIALLY IN THE CORN.  THE AIRMAN INDICATED THAT THE RIGHT RUDDER PEDAL COVER CAME OFF AND MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO DIRECTIONAL CONTROL ON LANDING.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
