Probable cause

The pilot's excessive use of brakes during the landing.

NTSB narrative

During the landing rollout, the pilot applied the brakes and the airplane nosed over. The fuselage, vertical stabilizer, and left wing struts were substantially damaged. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. He said that the accident could have been prevented if he had allowed the airplane to roll out without applying the brakes.
