## Narrative

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

A PILOT WAS RETURNING TO CHINO AIRPORT (KCNO) FROM A LOCAL FLIGHT IN HIS BELLANCA 7ECA AIRCRAFT WHEN HE WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 26R.  IMMEDIATELY UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRMAN NOTICED A RIGHT QUARTERING TAILWIND WHICH CAUSED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT TO SHIFT TO THE RIGHT. THE PILOT RESPONDED BY APPLYING LEFT RUDDER AND LEFT BRAKE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO SHIFT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED, FOLLOWED BY A PROPELLER STRIKE, WHICH RESULTED IN A GROUND LOOP OF THE AIRCRAFT.
