## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHDOWN DOWN AFTER A STABILIZED APPROACH WITH 10 DEGREES OF FLAPS AT 85 MPH.  DURING ROLLOUT, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AND THE PILOT COMPENSATED WITH LEFT RUDDER IMPUT.  THE PILOT STATED THE AIRCRAFT THEN TURNED LEFT SUDDENLY DUE TO A WIND GUST AND A FULL POWER GO-AROUND WAS INITIATED.  THE PILOT STATED THAT HIS POWER APPLICATION WAS LATE AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED.  THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND WAS SEATED IN THE RIGHT SEAT AND ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS SEATED IN THE LEFT SEAT OF THE TWO PLACE AIRCRAFT.    THE RIGHT SEAT POSITION IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH BRAKES.  DURING THE GROUND LOOP, THE RIGHT WING AND MAIN LANDING GEAR LEG WERE DAMAGED.

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.
