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 plt was crop spraying a field in a Schweizer ag-cat acft when the left landing wire broke. The plt returned to Riverton, WY. During the landing roll, in attempt to stop the acft as soon as possible, he inadvertently applied the brakes too hard, causing the acft to nose over.
