NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that during the landing roll out, on runway 31R, he applied wheel brakes in an effort to exit the runway and the airplane nosed over. In a written report to the NTSB, the pilot indicated that "applying less brake" and ensuring that the control wheel was full aft could have "likely" prevented the accident. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane at the time of the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's excessive use of the airplane's wheel brakes, which resulted in a nose over during landing.
