Narrative:

After executing a satisfactory approach to landing, I flared the aircraft and touched down. The aircraft then veered to the left of centerline and I applied brakes to prevent the aircraft from leaving the runway. The nose fell and the propeller hit the runway, but caused no damage to the runway surface. The cause of the occurrence, I feel, was micrometeorology coupled with over-braking. To prevent this from recurring, I suggest that pilots in the general aviation environment to be more thoroughly trained in micrometeorology and the differences between tail-draggers (conventional) and tricycle-type lndgs.

Title: MOTORIZED GLIDER NOSE OVER ON LNDG.

Narrative: AFTER EXECUTING A SATISFACTORY APCH TO LNDG, I FLARED THE ACFT AND TOUCHED DOWN. THE ACFT THEN VEERED TO THE LEFT OF CENTERLINE AND I APPLIED BRAKES TO PREVENT THE ACFT FROM LEAVING THE RWY. THE NOSE FELL AND THE PROP HIT THE RWY, BUT CAUSED NO DAMAGE TO THE RWY SURFACE. THE CAUSE OF THE OCCURRENCE, I FEEL, WAS MICROMETEOROLOGY COUPLED WITH OVER-BRAKING. TO PREVENT THIS FROM RECURRING, I SUGGEST THAT PLTS IN THE GENERAL AVIATION ENVIRONMENT TO BE MORE THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN MICROMETEOROLOGY AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TAIL-DRAGGERS (CONVENTIONAL) AND TRICYCLE-TYPE LNDGS.
