## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING AND SETTING THE TAIL WHEEL DOWN THE PILOT HAD NO FORWARD VIEW OF THE RUNWAY, SIDE REFERENCE ONLY. PILOT LOST EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF THE RUDDER, THE AIRCRAFT STARTED RIGHT AND PILOT CORRECTED WITH LEFT BRAKE. THE AIRCRAFT STARTED LEFT AND THE PILOT WAS NOT QUICK ENOUGH TO CORRECT THE LEFT TURN AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND-LOOPED MAKING CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY MARKER.
