What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot ground looped aircraft upon landing on runway 27. The pilot stated that there was a light crosswind at the airport, so he decided to practice touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. He departed runway 27 and completed a traffic pattern. After touching down on the runway, the airplane ground looped. The left wing and propeller were damaged in the ground loop with substantial damage to the left-wing spar. The pilot admitted that he made a mistake and couldn't control the aircraft. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation of the aircraft.
