Incident Overview
A dual instructional flight was conducted to familiarize a private certificated/dual student pilot with the inflight, landing, and takeoff characteristics of a newly acquired airplane. Earlier in the flight, the student had successfully demonstrated landings and takeoffs at surrounding airstrips on snow-covered paving.
Sequence of Events
During the landing on dry pavement, just after touchdown, the airplane began drifting to the right of the runway centerline. The student reported applying pressure to the rudder control pedals to correct the ground path. Subsequently, the plane developed a nose-over tendency, which required increasing amounts of up elevator to counter. The nose-over tendency continued, and the plane ended up inverted on the runway.
Student Report
The student reported that he was wearing large thick-soled boots and that he may have unintentionally applied pressure to the wheel brakes at the same time he was manipulating the rudder control pedals.
