| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The instructor and a student were on a training flight from Nelspruit Aerodrome to the general flying area and back again. The instructor stated that the accident occurred as he and the student had just returned from training in the general flying area and as they were conducting the last circuit-and-landing exercise. The instructor further stated that after the student had landed, during the landing roll, the student applied hard braking while still at fairly high speed. The aircraft nosed over, which is a typical response in a tail wheeler to braking at high speed. Damage to the aircraft was limited to the propeller, tail plane and airframe. Both instructor and student sustained no injuries. The last annual inspection was carried out in April 2006 at 200 flying hours, and the aircraft was further operated for 50 flying hours. Probable Cause Excessive application of brakes whilst the aircraft was still at a fairly high speed.
