NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

During the braking application, the airplane to nose over. An FAA inspector corroborated the pilot's statement and commented that the pilot did not select a favorable runway for landing.
the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions and excessive application of braking action, which resulted in an on-ground loss-of-control and a nose over. Related factors were: the pilot's selection of the wrong runway, and the crosswind condition.
On March 15, 1998, about 1314 eastern standard time, a Boeing A75N1(PT17), N63538, nosed over while landing on 2 left, at the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport, Chamblee, Georgia.

The pilot and one passenger received minor injuries, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The flight originated from Dekalb-Peachtree Airport at 1255. According to the pilot, after landing, the wind picked up the left wing and began to cause the airplane to ground loop. In order to prevent that, the pilot stated he applied right brake to correct the alignment. The hard brake application caused the airplane to nose over. The FAA inspector stated the left wing was lifted by a gust while the airplane was on landing rollout. The right wingtip and outer aileron contacted the ground. The inspector stated the pilot then applied right brake and left aileron to correct the condition. The inputs were too abrupt, and the airplane nosed over.
