Narrative:While inbound for landing the pilot stepped on the brake pedals and the "brakes felt really tight," so he quit applying pressure. During the landing roll, immediately after touchdown, the tailwheel-equipped airplane slowed quickly, nosed over, impacted the ground, and came to rest inverted. A postaccident examination of the parking brake revealed a loose valve, which allowed uncommanded movement of the valve into the locked position.
Probable Cause: The uncommanded inflight application of parking brake due to a loose valve, which resulted in a noseover during landing.
