Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The aircraft groundlooped and rolled inverted during the takeoff roll. The student pilot stated that during the takeoff roll the sun broke through the clouds and blinded him. He reported, that this condition plus the crosswind interferred with his ability to keep the aircraft in a straight line and resulted in the groundloop.
