Incident Details
The pilot of the accident aircraft reported that the aircraft deviated from the runway centerline during the landing roll, drifting slightly to the right. The pilot then applied corrective inputs, but inadvertently applied more right rudder/brake pressure than left, causing the aircraft to veer further right. The aircraft departed the runway surface onto soft, wet grassy terrain.
Pilot Background
The pilot had recently purchased the aircraft and noted that the majority of his prior flight experience was in an Ercoupe aircraft. The Ercoupe features a brake positioned on the right rudder pedal, a configuration different from the accident aircraft.
Sequence of Events
As the aircraft slowed on the soft ground, the nose wheel dug into the terrain, leading the aircraft to nosed over. The aircraft came to rest inverted. No further details regarding injuries or aircraft damage were provided in the report.
Outcome
The aircraft nosed over and came to rest inverted after the landing roll excursion. The pilot's statement indicated that his familiarity with the Ercoupe's brake system led to the asymmetric application of braking force.
