Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot’s excessive use of the brakes during the landing roll.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that while decelerating during the landing roll in a tailwheel equipped airplane, the airplane started to veer to the right. The pilot applied brakes and the airplane nosed over and came to a rest inverted. The airplane’s wings and rudder sustained substantial damage during the accident sequence. At the time of the accident, the nearest weather reporting station, about 3 miles south of the airport, reported wind from 050 degrees at 3 knots. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operations.
