Accident Details
A flight instructor was providing recurrent training to a private pilot in a wheel-equipped airplane that had been converted to a tailwheel configuration. The instructor occupied the right seat, and the private pilot sat in the left seat.
Sequence of Events
The private pilot had completed two successful stop-and-go landings prior to the accident landing. On the third landing, during the landing roll on a dry paved runway, the airplane veered slightly to the left of the runway's centerline. The flight instructor attempted to correct the deviation by applying a slight amount of right rudder. At the same time, the private pilot applied heavy braking, causing both main wheels to lock. The airplane subsequently nosed over.
Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
