NTSB Factual Report

In a written statement, the pilot reported that during the departure roll, the airplane was not performing as he had expected. He opted to abort the takeoff by aggressively applying brakes. The airplane nosed over, damaging the wings and tail section.

In the section titled "RECOMMENDATION" in the NTSB Pilot/Operator Report, form 6120.1/2, the pilot stated that accident could have been prevented if he had "better control of braking." He further added that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's incorrect use of brakes, which resulted in the airplane nosing over.
