Lotsa brakes, and the pilot got it stopped quick, but not as intended. Once the plane slows a bit, the brakes and tires might grab even better. But as you slow, the elevator becomes less effective. I think the pilot was trying too hard - and had a audience to fly for... |
Won't let us in DAR.

Oh. Bugga!

As we dinosaurs who learned on tail-wheel aircraft often say...
"Hold the stick right back as you touch on all 3 wheels, and keep it there." Mind you, over-enthusiastic braking can always overcome that, especially when you've touched down as hot as that one. |

Looks like it was some sort of spot /short landing competition judging by the cones and people there.
|
Was it a spot landing competition? The cones and observers at the runway edge make me wonder if the final cone had some significance.

Yes it was a landing competition.
The aircraft was repaired and flying again shortly after that incident. Fuel high up in wing tanks also play a role in nose overs like this. |

What struck me about the video, apart from the abrupt stop, was that the speed seemed excessively high for someone trying for a short landing.
