| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that the aircraft touched down in a three-point configuration and immediately veered to the left. The pilot corrected with right rudder control and backpressure on the elevator. The aircraft continued to parallel the runway centerline for about 60 feet, when the airplane tipped over onto the wing and the propeller contacted the runway surface. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. Post-accident inspection of the brake system by a mechanic and an inspector from the FAA did not reveal any evidence of a mechanical malfunction.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing.
