Narrative:

After centerline on speed touchdown, approximately 1000 ft down runway 22, aircraft decelerated to approximately 30 KTS, began a slight left drift. Immediately applied right rudder with slight right brake to adjust drift when aircraft ground looped to left. I believe reaction time may have been a bit slow. That is the only thing I can think of, due to how fast the airplane looped. No injuries, minor damage.

Title: LOSS OF ACFT CTL DURING LNDG PROC ROLLOUT. ACFT GND LOOPS.

Narrative: AFTER CTRLINE ON SPD TOUCHDOWN, APPROX 1000 FT DOWN RWY 22, ACFT DECELERATED TO APPROX 30 KTS, BEGAN A SLIGHT L DRIFT. IMMEDIATELY APPLIED R RUDDER WITH SLIGHT R BRAKE TO ADJUST DRIFT WHEN ACFT GND LOOPED TO L. I BELIEVE REACTION TIME MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT SLOW. THAT IS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF, DUE TO HOW FAST THE AIRPLANE LOOPED. NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE.
