Analysis
During rollout after landing, the pilot was asked by the tower to expedite clearing the runway due to landing traffic. As the aircraft had slowed, the pilot attempted a turnout when a groundloop occurred. A gust of wind precipitated the groundloop. The wind at the time was reported to be from 070 at 8 knots gusting to 12 knots.
