It was later reported that the photographer in the forward cockpit was bracing his feet against the brakes during the landing. Most aircraft of that vintage that I've flown have heel brakes rather than toe brakes. If that's the case here, the passenger could be applying the brakes without having his feet on the rudder pedals and the pilot would have been completely unaware that the brakes were being applied until too late to react.
He probably wasnt resting his heels on the floor, resulting in hitting the toe brakes upon touchdown...which in a tail wheel will cause exactly what happened.
If this airplane has a "settable" parking brake, my first guess would be that it was landed with that brake set. Otherwise, the pilot would seem to be something of a spaz.
"The NTSB stated that the probable cause for this accident was the “pilot’s inadvertent use of the wheel brakes at high speed during the touchdown phase of the landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s lack of familiarity with the feel and effectiveness of the airplane’s wheel brakes.” " velozia dot com slash revisiting-the-biplane-nose-over-in-washington-dc
Happens a lot. 0:26 no brakes on just after touchdown. Then Pilot hit the brakes after touchdown to keep tail up for the camera as a stunt, hits them too hard and flips over. Afterwards they try to blame the mechanics for self applying brakes or some other stupid excuses. Eventually they clear the mechanics and the pilot error reason comes clearly. But at beginning the ahole always say was brake malfunction. I teach taildragger flying.
No the idiot in the back cockpit, was fliming and stood up in his seat to get a better shot. Guess what he used to gain more hight the rudder pedals, causeing to brakes to be full engause on landing.
Looks like he landed with his feet on the brakes. You see the smoke as soon as the wheels touch, this would not happen on an aircraft like this unless the brakes were locked on touchdown.
looks like the wheel bearing were shot and the wheel wasnt spinning free enough and acted as if it were applying brakes and putting all the weight towards the front of the plane making it tip forward. just my .2
That's why you should fly a nose dragger (Long EZ) ;-)
Anyway, easy on the brakes, dude.
Hope the craft was repairable, didn't look too bad, exept the engine, but hard to tell without seeing it firsthand. It was a landing though, not a crash, as they both walked away. Passenger was heard to question; was that a landing or were we shot down?
@Rayzkevin an experienced pilot flying one of these doesn't "hit the brakes too hard". The parking brake was probably accidentally engaged in flight, or something else causing the brakes or wheel bearings to lock up.
He tapped the brakes during a wheel landing. He was part of a formation landing and was nervous about not being able to see the aircraft in front of him. It was all a product of nerves, big day for him and all involved. Stearman are notoriously top heavy and are really easy to tea kettle like this. The camera man also said he posted off the rudder pedals to adjust himself and the camera, however the pilot said he did it and he took the blame. So many retarded comments on here from non pilots
@SpartanDara117 yes the Stearman was the Primary Flight trainer which was a bi-plane, they learned to fly in this before moving on to the advanced trainers
So, do WWII era biplanes have parking brakes? Obviously the brakes were locked at touchdown, but parking brakes? Someone here said the pilot might have applied the parking brake to stop the wheels from spinning during flight. That makes no sense to me. In flight the wheels stop on their own, and so what if they don't? Maybe if it were a retractable the pilot would tap the brakes before retracting, but a parking brake?
@dcs002 Pilots do lock their brakes in flight. My flight instructor told me it's to stop vibration or something like that. it's on the checklist of things to do before landing (release park brake)
@michael3005 I've got my private and barely over 100 hours of time, but my instructors never taught me to use the brakes in-flight. I know pilots flying retractables sometimes tap the toe brakes before gear up so the spinning wheels don't rub against anything in the gear bay (or something like that - never flew one myself). I've only flown Cessnas (mostly 172's), & the only gear vibration was that nose gear flutter on t/o. What type are you flying? Maybe that makes a difference? I'm curious.
@dcs002 I usually fly on DR400's (i'm still learning) but the instructor has said that it's often done in retractable gear aircraft you're right. I've allso done a bit of work on private aircraft (mechanics) and the chief Mech I was working with says it's fairly common. I suppose it's just a case of preference.
nope don't even have a pilot's license, wish I did hey -put your wished items in one basket in crap in another and see which one gets filled first- lol !!!
He had the brakes or parking brakes on. I do this all the time for fun in the Grumman Goose. You have to pull back all the way if you want to use the breaks, well that's in flight simulator. It's probably wont happen in real life and especially in this plane plane since it's so small. It would probably just go back in the air again. It's not all his fault but it was definitely avoidable.
"what kind of crash was that is only hurt the propeller"
It didn't only hurt the propeller but also the tops of the vertical fin and rudder. If you watch closely, you can see them crunch a little as the plane flips over

Number one problem I see is the elevator is in level position.
Pilot should have held stick back and made a full stall landing.
There is a risk of tail wind lifting horizontal stabilizer with out full back on stick.
Addition of brakes is secondary reason for the forward flip.
