Narrative:

Landed small aircraft taildragger on ice covered runway lightly dusted with snow. On rollout, with braking action applied, plane passed over a dry clear section of runway. Due to the existing braking action at that particular moment the plane nosed over causing minor damage. Less braking action should have been used until reaching a lower rollout speed.
