## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - weather condition - tailwind (contributing factor)
  - weather condition - gusts (contributing factor)
  - wrong runway - selected, pilot in command (cause)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

THE PILOT WAS MAKING A LANDING TO THE WEST WHEN HE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND GROUNDLOOPED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. HE SAID THE TAILWHEEL OF THE ACFT WAS ALREADY ON THE GROUND WHEN THE GROUNDLOOP OCCURRED AND HE LOST CONTROL WHEN A SUDDEN GUST OF WIND OCCURRED. THE PILOT REPORTED WINDS OUT OF THE EAST AT 15 GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
