Narrative:
The pilot was performing takeoffs and landings that morning at Gainesville Regional Airport. The pilot was in the left seat and the pilot-rated passenger was following along on the controls from the right seat. The airplane made a normal approach to land on runway 06. According to the pilot, during the landing rollout the pilot-rated passenger inadvertently applied both wheel brakes and the airplane nosed over. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident. Examination of the wreckage revealed damage to the propeller, engine mounts, cowling, right wing, left wing tip, vertical fin, rudder and windshield.
