Factual narrative

THE PRIVATE PILOT WAS PRACTICING TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS WITH AN INSTRUCTOR TO OBTAIN AN ENDORSEMENT FOR TAILWHEEL AIRPLANES. THE WIND WAS 70 DEGREES LEFT OF RUNWAY HEADING AT 16 KNOTS. DURING LANDING ROLLOUT, THE AIRPLANE TURNED INTO THE WIND. THE INSTRUCTOR CAME ON THE CONTROLS TO REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE DUAL STUDENT APPLIED BRAKES, AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER.
