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 plt reported that when he landed, the acft began drifting to the left. Since there was a high speed turn-off ahead, he did not make an immediate correction for the drift. When a correction was applied, the acft did not respond & it continued into a ground loop. The right main gear then collapsed under a side load. During a repair, the right landing gear cabane strut was found to have been previously repaired with undersized material.
