NTSB Factual Report

The airplane was substantially damaged when it nosed over during a landing roll on a 2,900-foot long by 150-foot wide turf runway. The pilot stated that as he was landing on the turf runway, another airplane announced that it was landing on the intersecting paved runway. The pilot decided he needed to stop his airplane prior to reaching the intersection. The airplane nosed over when he applied the brakes.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's excessive use of braking during the landing roll, causing the aircraft to nose over.
