Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

North Pole, Alaska 99705
Wednesday, June 23, 1999 16:05 AKD

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported he was flying from the right seat to become familiar with giving anticipated flight instruction from that side. After landing, he made a high speed taxi, and lost directional control. The airplane ground looped to the right, went off the runway, and struck trees. The pilot said that the airplane did not have brake pedals installed on the right side of the cockpit.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's inadvertent ground loop during a high speed taxi. A factor associated with the accident is the pilot's decision to taxi the airplane at an excessive taxi speed.
