## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS FERRYING AIRCRAFT FROM SELLER TO BUYER. PILOT STATED DURING ROLLOUT AFTER 150 FEET THE AIRCRAFT MADE AN IMMEDIATE RIGHT TURN. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN A DRAINAGE DITCH WITH LARGE ROCKS. BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT LANDING GEAR WERE COLLAPSED AND ONE SIDE OF THE PROPELLER WAS BENT. THERE WAS NO OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE  TO THE AIRCRAFT. THE FIREWALL WAS INTACT.  INSPECTION OF THE TAIL WHEEL REVEALED THE CENTERING LOCK HAD APOXIMATELY 20 DEGREES OF PLAY. PILOT LOST CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT AND GROUND LOOPED THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
