## Narrative

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

(-23) INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT THE TRAINEE MADE A NORMAL APPROACH AND A SMOOTH WHEEL LANDING. TRAINEE WAS MAINTAINING DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WHEN AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED TO THE RIGHT. INSTRUCTOR DID NOT OBSERVE A CONDITION REQUIRING HIM TO ASSUME CONTROL. INSTRUCTOR FEELS THAT THE LEFT HAND MAIN GEAR MAY HAVE FAILED PREMATURE. MANAFACTURER OF THE AIRCRAFT REPORTED THE GEAR FAILED DUE TO THE OVER LOAD DURING THE GROUND LOOP AFTER INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
