Narrative:The flight instructor was providing the pilot receiving instruction familiarization training in his new tailwheel-equipped airplane. The flight instructor and the pilot had previously flown the airplane, and the pilot made several uneventful landings; however, the flight instructor noted that it was difficult to apply pressure on the rudder pedals without engaging the brakes. On the day of the accident, the pilot made two uneventful landings on a hard-surface runway before deciding to land on a grass strip due to a wind shift. The pilot's first landing on the grass strip was uneventful. However, during the second landing, the pilot applied too much brake pressure and the airplane nosed over. The flight instructor said the accident happened so fast that he did not have enough time to take any corrective action other than pulling full aft on the control column.
Probable Cause: The pilot receiving instruction's excessive braking during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of control.
