What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Airman was doing a currency flight because they had not flown the CE-185 tailwheel in the past six months. The airman has only 19.5 hours in this aircraft and limited total time. On the first landing roll out at Goose Bay Airport a ground loop was caused by uncontrolled yaw to the left. Which caused the airplane momentum to veer quickly to the left and the aircrafts wing to hit the ground causing substantial damage.
