Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's loss of directional control and subsequent improper brake application during the landing roll, which resulted in a nose-over.
Full Narrative
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, after a 3-point landing, during the landing roll, the airplane veered left. He corrected with right rudder, but the airplane continued left so he applied brakes and the airplane nosed down on the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
