Narrative:

Landing at malin, or, municipal airport to the northwest. A 3-POINT landing was performed, with airspeed indicating about 57 mph. Wind and WX was not a factor. After approximately 175-200 ft of rollout, a very violent vibration was felt on the left side of the aircraft. After a short period of time the aircraft pulled a little left. Right rudder and a small amount of brakes (right side) were applied to center the aircraft. As the aircraft decelerated almost to a stop on the runway, it tipped up on the nose and almost went over on its back. After the sudden propeller stoppage, the aircraft ended up on its nose (spinner/propeller), right main gear, and right wingtip, with the tail about 75 degrees vertical. Runway marks indicated that the left brake seized and started the chain of events. The violent vibration was actually the left wheel jumping on the ground, and when it stopped vibrating, it was actually digging a trench in the dirt. Human performance factors: I feel that I somewhat contributed to the tip-up by ruddering and braking on the right side while trying to center the plane on the runway. I had no way of knowing that the left side was locked up, and even with that knowledge, I'm not sure what I would do differently. On investigation, rocks were found in the left brake assembly.

Title: C180 TIPPED UP ON PROP, NOSE AND WINGTIP AFTER THE L BRAKE SEIZED UP DURING LNDG ROLL CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE ACFT.

Narrative: LNDG AT MALIN, OR, MUNICIPAL ARPT TO THE NW. A 3-POINT LNDG WAS PERFORMED, WITH AIRSPD INDICATING ABOUT 57 MPH. WIND AND WX WAS NOT A FACTOR. AFTER APPROX 175-200 FT OF ROLLOUT, A VERY VIOLENT VIBRATION WAS FELT ON THE L SIDE OF THE ACFT. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE ACFT PULLED A LITTLE L. R RUDDER AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKES (R SIDE) WERE APPLIED TO CTR THE ACFT. AS THE ACFT DECELERATED ALMOST TO A STOP ON THE RWY, IT TIPPED UP ON THE NOSE AND ALMOST WENT OVER ON ITS BACK. AFTER THE SUDDEN PROP STOPPAGE, THE ACFT ENDED UP ON ITS NOSE (SPINNER/PROP), R MAIN GEAR, AND R WINGTIP, WITH THE TAIL ABOUT 75 DEGS VERT. RWY MARKS INDICATED THAT THE L BRAKE SEIZED AND STARTED THE CHAIN OF EVENTS. THE VIOLENT VIBRATION WAS ACTUALLY THE L WHEEL JUMPING ON THE GND, AND WHEN IT STOPPED VIBRATING, IT WAS ACTUALLY DIGGING A TRENCH IN THE DIRT. HUMAN PERFORMANCE FACTORS: I FEEL THAT I SOMEWHAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE TIP-UP BY RUDDERING AND BRAKING ON THE R SIDE WHILE TRYING TO CTR THE PLANE ON THE RWY. I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT THE L SIDE WAS LOCKED UP, AND EVEN WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE, I'M NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY. ON INVESTIGATION, ROCKS WERE FOUND IN THE L BRAKE ASSEMBLY.
