Analysis
Pilot attempted to compensate for gusty wnd cond by lnding the acft tail high. The acft began to wx vane and in an effort to correct, the plt used excessive rt brake. The braking action combined with the gusty wnd exceeded the elevator authority and the acft nosed over. According to the plt, the wnd was from the west at 15 KTS gusting to 22 KTS, but occasionally switching to a north to south direction.
