NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that after the touchdown, right rudder and brake was applied to counter a ground loop. He reported that the ground loop was prevented but the airplane nosed over as a result of the brake input. A postflight inspection revealed substantial damage to the fuselage, the right wing support strut, and the empennage.

The pilot reported there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.

The pilot reported as a safety recommendation, for "more judicious use of brakes in the future."

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's use of excessive brake input during the recovery from the ground loop, which resulted in a nose over.
