Analysis
The acft ran off the end of a grass strip and nosed over. The pilot said the approach and touchdown were normal but the acft did not slow as fast as he expected. As the runway end approached the pilot used hard braking and the acft slid offthe end of the strip. It slid over a drop-off 3 ft high onto a road collapsing the nose gear and nosing over as it collided with a small dirt bank.
