Probable cause
The improper recovery from a bounced landing and the improper use of brakes by the CFI. A factor relating to the accident was the failure of the dual student to touchdown properly.
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 dual student was practicing wheel landings when the acft bounced on touchdown, and began to swerve off the rwy on the second touchdown. The CFI took the controls, alligned the acft with the rwy and applied hard braking. The acft nosed over on the rwy.
