Probable cause
The pilot's excessive application of brakes. A factor in the accident was the pilot's lack of experience in this model aircraft.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The flight purpose was to build time in model: the pilot had 6 hours, all recent. The pilot landed with a right crosswind. As speed decreased on rollout, the airplane weathervaned right. The pilot used left brake to augment yaw control, and the airplane nosed over.
