What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Upon landing touchdown aircraft "bounced" twice, pilot stated "as is common for this aircraft". On landing roll out, the pilot added right rudder to correct and maintain runway centerline. The pilot overcorrected using right rudder input. The aircraft direction then proceeded to the right, (ground loop) the left wing made contact with the runway surface as the aircraft departed the runway right edge. The overcorrection for directional control resulted in left wing damage, left main landing gear damage and susequent propeller strike. The passenger sustained minor injury (minor cut on leg) while exiting the aircraft.
