Accident Overview
A pilot operating a tailwheel-equipped aircraft completed one touch-and-go landing and was on the landing roll of a second approach. The aircraft encountered a right quartering tailwind shortly after touchdown, which pushed it toward the left side of the runway. In an attempt to maintain directional control and bring the aircraft to a stop, the pilot applied differential braking. However, the pilot failed to reduce the level of brake application to compensate for the effects of the tailwind, causing the aircraft to nose over on the runway surface.
Pilot Observations
According to the pilot, the aircraft's brakes and flight controls were functioning normally, with no apparent mechanical issues. The pilot stated that without the tailwind, the nose-over likely would not have occurred.
Pilot Recommendation
In the recommendation section of the report submitted to the NTSB, the pilot advised: "Don't try to land with quartering tailwind."
