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 purpose of this flt was to check out a commercial plt in the acft. Dual flt controls & heel brakes were installed. The student was practicing landings & on his 4th or 5th landing roll, the acft began to turn to the right. The student applied left rudder & brake but the acft continued to turn to the right. The instructor also applied brakes & the acft nosed over. Both plt's admitted that excessive braking action caused the nose over, and that both plts were using the brakes. The instructor plt reported that here were no mechanical failures or malfunction of the acft.
