The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot in the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, shortly after touchdown, the airplane turned slightly to the left. The pilot applied right rudder control to correct the left turn, however the left turn increased before he could apply right side braking and power. The airplane departed the left side of the runway, ground looped and nosed over. The right-wing strut and vertical stabilizer were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number WPR22LA222.
