Narrative:THE CHECK PILOT STATED THAT THE PILOT'S SECOND LANDING IN THE ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT WAS A 'WHEEL' LANDING. HE REPORTED THAT THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE TOP OF A CREST IN THE AIRSTRIP WITH THE TAIL HIGH. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED DOWN THE SLIGHT SLOPE WITH A QUARTERING TAILWIND. ACCORDING TO THE CHECK PILOT, THE PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER, COMING TO REST INVERTED ON THE GRASS STRIP.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S IMPROPER BRAKE APPLICATION DURING A 'WHEEL' LANDING, WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT NOSING OVER. THE SLIGHT DOWNSLOPE OF THE AIRSTRIP, A QUARTERING TAILWIND, INADEQUATE SUPERVISION ON THE PART OF THE CHECK PILOT, AND THE PILOT'S LACK OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT ALL CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT.
