Guidelines for this Section

Please post thoughtfully in this section. Create/maintain one thread per mishap. Focus the discussion on the event, and learning from it, rather than on the individuals. Keep in mind that any damaged Bearhawk may represent many years of lost work, many thousands of lost dollars, injury, or worse. Create posts that will enhance safety of the Bearhawk fleet and educate other Bearhawk operators. It is not always easy for someone to come forward after a mishap, be tactful and don't make someone regret admitting a mistake.

    Narrative:
    The pilot reported that shortly after touchdown and during the landing roll, the airplane ground looped to the left. A postaccident examination of the landing gear system revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunction or failure that would have precluded normal operation.

    Probable Cause:
    The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a ground loop.​
