As a result of the loss of directional control, the aircraft veered to the left, off the runway, and impacted a pilot of debris at the end of the runway. The flight was conducted as an instructional solo-flight under the provisions of title 14 of the code of federal regulations (14 CFR) part 141 with no flight plan filed. Visual weather conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The aircraft sustained substantial damage. The pilot did not receive any injuries. The flight departed vero beach, Florida, on October 21, 2007, at 1100 eastern daylight time. The pilot reported that immediately after landing, the tailwind caused him to lose directional control of the aircraft and impact the debris pile. As a result of the impact, the propeller impacted the ground, the nose gear collapsed (causing a small crease at the bottom of the firewall), and the right main landing gear caused the right wing spar to crease the skin, just forward of the right main landing gear.
