Soon after touching down on the main landing gear, the airplane's left brake locked up, and the airplane began to veer toward the edge of the runway. During the pilot's attempts to keep the airplane rolling straight, both bottom wings came in contact with the runway surface, and the airplane nosed over. The airplane's left tire had created a significant skid mark starting just past where the airplane touched down. There was no evidence of skidding of the right main landing gear tire. The investigation did not reveal any reason for the malfunction of the left brake, but the skid mark on the runway indicated that the brake mechanism had malfunctioned or locked up while the airplane was in the air, or during the touchdown sequence.
Probable Cause: The locking/seizing of a main landing gear brake mechanism during the landing roll.
