Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot's excessive braking during the landing roll, resulting in a nose over.

Factual narrative

The pilot reported that after landing, while in a high-speed taxi, air traffic control asked him to exit on a taxiway prior to the taxiway he intended to use. He applied brakes and the airplane nosed over and the airplane came to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
