Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane veered off the runway surface and nosed over during the pilot's attempted landing. While on the landing roll, the pilot applied brake pressure. The airplane immediately began to veer to the left and the pilot input right brake pressure, in an effort to counteract the change in direction; however, the airplane continued veering to left, off the runway surface. The airplane encountered a ditch and nosed over, coming to rest inverted. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector stated that he completed a thorough inspection of the wheel and brake assemblies, and he found no anomalies or evidence of malfunction or failure prior to impact.
