What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On landing runway 28 a gust of wind was encountered with eventual loss of control. The aircraft ground looped and departed the south side of the runway sustaining damage to the landing gear and propeller. The wind direction was 110 and the speed was estimated due to inop measuring equipment. The pilot stated not having to hold a crab on final and estimated the winds were about five to six knots out of the south with no appreciable gust factor. The pilot also stated that runway 28 was a normal runway for him to use when the winds are light due to the slow approach speed of his aircraft so he would not interfere with faster traffic. Pilot was counseled on being more aware of wind speed and velocity and its effects on tailwheel aircraft.
