Probable cause
The NTSB’s determination of the probable cause, and any contributing factors.
The student pilot's excessive remedial action. Factors to the accident were poor supervision by the CFI.
Analysis
During the landing roll, the student pilot did not feel that there was sufficient room to stop the airplane and applied the brakes hard. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted.
