Probable cause

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
During a day landing the pilot touched down short of the runway and his landing roll carried him to the paved runway. After the airplane reached the runway the pilot lost control and the airplane veered left of the runway and ground-looped. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions.
