Human Factors
Landing after a visual approach in good VFR weather conditions. Copilot was new to aircraft and after being trained; briefed and instructed to 'block the rudders' during the latter portion of the landing rollout he instead manipulated the rudders in an attempt to steer the aircraft; this action made reaching the brake pedals very difficult for the pilot. This combination of opposing rudder control and brake inputs induced a series of swerves that finally resulted in the aircraft stopping on the runway approximately 60 degrees off the runway heading. After the aircraft stopped the controls were locked and the aircraft was taxied off the runway. No aircraft damage was noted. No passengers were injured.
Multi-engine warbird Captain reported the flying First Officer lost directional control on the landing roll; probably related to improper rudder use.
