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.

    2021 n360wm lodcog

    The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, while making a stabilized normal approach, he flared too high which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent ground loop. The airplane's main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

    Probable Cause: The pilot's improper landing flare which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent ground loop.​
