## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS TURNING OFF ON HIGH-SPEED TAXIWAY "D".  UPON ENTERING THE TAXIWAY, RIGHT RUDDER WAS APPLIED TO CORRECT TO NAVIGATE THE RIGHT TURN IN THE TAXIWAY.  AT THIS POINT THE RUDDER PEDAL WENT TO THE FIREWALL.  THE FORWARD SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH.  AT THIS TIME THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TURNING TO THE LEFT.  TTHE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED IN A CONTINUALLY TIGHTNING LEFT TURN UNTIL THE RIGHT WING TIP CAME INTO GROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED.  THE PROP DID NOT STRIKE THE GROUND.  THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT IS THE RIGHT WING TIP AND RIGHT WING UPPER CAPSTRIP ON THE OUTBD RIB SEPARATED.  NO SPAR DAMAGE.

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.
