Analysis

The plt stated that during the landing roll the acft began to veer off towards the left side of the rwy. Full rt rudder would not correct this. The acft then left the rwy, ground looped, & as a result the rt main gear collapsed & the tailwheel separated from it. Post accident inspection of the brake system & rudder assembly revealed no evidence of pre-accident failure or malfunction.
