The pilot reported that during the landing roll with a constant crosswind, the Cessna 195A veered left of the runway centerline at the airport in Salinas, Calif.
He applied right rudder control and braking action, which resulted in an over correction.
The airplane entered a right ground loop which rotated it about 270°.
The fuselage sustained substantial damage near the main landing gear and firewall area.
The NTSB determined the probable cause as the pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a ground loop.
NTSB Identification: WPR14CA083
This December 2013 accident report is provided by the National Transportation Safety Board. Published as an educational tool, it is intended to help pilots learn from the misfortunes of others.
the Cessna Air Master series all have limited authority of the rudder fin area with the tail down position. Maybe better try a touch and go first then come back around for the landing attempt. Or, maybe try another airport.
From what I read I think the pilot had better making the plane roll out without breaking maintaining right rudder and pushing the stick promply downwards – even with a speed that’s too high – which is not advised – it would help to keep the runway heading and not letting the plane divert from the centerline.to eventual obstacles off the runway.
