THE INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, WITH THE STUDENT PILOT AT THE CONTROLS, HAD JUST COMPLETED SEVERAL FULL STOP WHEEL LANDINGS AT THE AIRPORT. ON THE ACCIDENT FLIGHT, THE STUDENT RETARDED THE THROTTLE TO IDLE AND BEGAN ERRATIC LONGITUDINAL CONTROL ON THE LANDING ROLLOUT. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT INITIATED LEFT RUDDER TO STRAIGHTEN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND APPLIED ELEVATOR CONTROL TO GET THE TAILWHEEL ON THE GROUND AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE STUDENT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDALS. THE AIRPLANE PROCEEDED TO GO UP ONTO ITS NOSE AND OVER ONTO ITS BACK. PRIOR TO THE MISHAP FLIGHT, THE INSTRUCTOR TOLD THE STUDENT THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS EQUIPPED WITH DUAL PUCK CLEVELAND BRAKES, THAT THE BRAKES WERE VERY SENSITIVE, AND AS SUCH TO STAY OFF THE BRAKES.
Probable Cause: THE IMPROPER USE OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS BY THE STUDENT PILOT AND INADEQUATE SUPERVISION BY THE CFI PILOT-IN-COMMAND.
