| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was conducting his first solo landing in the tailwheel-equipped airplane. He performed a three-point landing and, as the airplane slowed, the nose veered to the left. He applied right rudder to correct and the airplane began to roll to the right. The right landing gear collapsed and the right wing contacted the runway surface. Postaccident examination of the airplane by the Federal Aviation Administration inspector did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right aileron.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing.
