What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The PIC was conducting pattern work. The PIC attempted a wheel landing first. During the roll-out, the PIC “tapped” the brakes and the aircraft tipped forward resulting in a propeller strike. As the aircraft was tipping forward, the PIC attempted to pull back on the stick to bring the tail down. The aircraft came to rest on the spinner and engine cowl. The aircraft sustained minor damage. The PIC turned the fuel selector and magnetos off, then exited the aircraft without injury.
