Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane departed the right side of the runway, and as the main gear entered the dirt, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The instructor pilot was providing an airplane checkout to the dual student, who was at the controls during landing. During the landing roll, the airplane veered to the right. The instructor told the student to add left aileron, but the airplane continued to the right. The instructor took the controls but was not able to keep the airplane on the runway.
