Incident Details
A tailwheel-equipped airplane experienced a nose-over while landing in an open field covered with wet grass. The accident occurred when the aircraft's main wheels began to skid following brake application on the slick surface. As the airplane moved onto drier terrain, the braking effectiveness increased abruptly, leading to the nose-over.
Sequence of Events
The pilot applied brakes during the landing roll on wet grass, which caused the main wheels to skid due to reduced traction. When the aircraft transitioned to a drier area of the field, the change in surface conditions resulted in a sudden increase in braking effectiveness. This caused the tailwheel airplane to pitch forward and nose over. The pilot attempted to counteract the situation by releasing all brake pressure, but the action was not timely enough to prevent the nose-over.
Aircraft Configuration
The airplane involved was a tailwheel-equipped aircraft. No other details about the make, model, or registration were provided in the source.
