Accident Details
A solo student pilot was conducting touch-and-go landing practice on a 2,200-foot-long gravel runway. After completing four successful touch-and-go landings, the pilot decided to perform a full stop landing. During the landing roll, the airplane veered slightly to the left. In an attempt to realign the airplane with the runway, the pilot applied the brakes. As the airplane neared the end of the landing roll, the pilot inadvertently applied too much brake pressure, causing the airplane to nose over.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane. He stated that the nose-over resulted from his own application of excessive brake pressure.
Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage.
