| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The flight instructor reported that after evaluating an uphill off-airport landing site, the pilot receiving instruction proceeded with an approach to landing. The airplane touched down long due to excessive airspeed and a gusty tailwind. During the landing rollout, and as the airplane neared the crest of the hill, excessive braking was applied and the airplane subsequently nosed-over resulting in substantial damage to the right lift strut and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's excessive use of brakes during landing, which resulted in a nose-over. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor's inadequate supervision and the gusty tailwind conditions.
