## Probable cause

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.

- Nose over, landing - roll
  - remedial action - excessive, dual student (cause)
  - lack of total experience, dual student (contributing factor)
  - supervision - poor, pilot in command(cfi) (contributing factor)
