Probable cause
The pilot's abrupt use of the wheel brakes during the landing roll.
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
During the landing roll at 15 to 20 miles per hour the airplane began to drift to the right. The rudder alone was not adequate and the pilot attempted to compensate with brakes. The airplane nosed over inverted. Both pilots felt that one of the brakes had locked; however, an A&P mechanic examined and tested the system finding no discrepancies.
