Loss of control involving a Bellanca 8KCAB, VH-JIR, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, on 9 March 1995

199500682

Summary

The pilot reported that he was giving another pilot instruction for the purpose of endorsement on type. A few seconds into the landing roll the left wing lifted, and the aircraft veered sharply left towards the runway edge. Both the instructor and the student applied opposite rudder resulting in the aircraft turning quickly right. This was followed by a series of sharp turns left and right down the runway until the aircraft eventually entered a ground loop to the left before coming to a halt.
