Analysis
One of the aircrew members was buying the acft & was receiving dual instruction before flying solo. After several landings, he flared for a 3-point landing. During the landing roll, the acft began drifting left & the student correctedback to the right. The instructor (CFI) reported that the acft then crossed to the right of the centerline & the student again corrected & applied brakes. Subsequently, the acft nosed over & came to rest in the center of the rwy.
