What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Landing pilot, flying in the right seat, is a properly certificated rated tail wheel pilot. PIC in left seat is properly certificated rated tail wheel pilot with over 400 hours in this airplane. PIC observed that landing was a generally satisfactory 3 point tail wheel landing, with no bounce. However, the landing pilot let the tail up too soon which caused the plane's landing direction to deviate from rw center line. PIC took the controls to correct rollout heading because this airplane only has brakes on the left side. PIC over compensated with brakes causing plane to nose over, resulting in the accident.
