## Narrative

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

(-23) PIC REPORTED THAT PRIOR TO LANDING THE RIGHT STRUT WAS FULLY EXTENDED AND THE LEFT STRUT WAS NORMAL. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A WHEEL LANDING AND ON ROLLOUT WHEN THE TAIL WHEEL WAS ON THE GROUND THE AIRCRAFT MADE AN UNCONTROLLABLE LEFT TURN. THE PILOT COULD NOT STOP THE TURNING ACTION WITH RUDDER OR BRAKES ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED JUST OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE RIGHT CONTROL CABLE TENSION TO THE TAIL WHEEL WAS SLACK WHICH COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE TAIL WHEEL FROM CASTERING TO THE RIGHT USING RUDDER PEDALS.

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.
