## Probable cause

THE STUDENT PILOT IN COMMAND'S APPLICATION OF EXCESSIVE BRAKING DURING THE LANDING ROLL.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Nose over, landing - roll
  - brakes(normal) - excessive, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE STUDENT PILOT IN COMMAND APPLIED EXCESSIVE BRAKING AND THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER.

## Factual narrative

On January 16, 1994, approximately 1620 hours Pacific standard time (PST), a Taylorcraft BC12-D, N95169, registered to and being flown by Bradley N. Dill, a student pilot, sustained substantial damage when the aircraft nosed over during rollout on runway 3 at the Burns Municipal Airport, Burns, Oregon. The pilot was uninjured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed. The flight, which was a supervised solo, was to have been operated in accordance with the requirements set forth in 14CFR91 and originated from Burns at approximately 1335 hours.

The pilot reported to the Investigator in Charge immediately following the accident that while rolling out he applied too much brake pressure and the aircraft nosed over.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
