What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot reported arriving over the landing strip at 11,000 feet MSL and observed the wind sock while descending to normal traffic pattern altitude. Winds were gusty, but down the runway. While on short final, pilot experienced wind shear resulting in a tail wind. With 40 degrees of flaps and a full slip, the pilot reported that he was still unable to get the airplane down. Due to the surrounding terrain, this airfield has no possible go-around options when on short final. Airplane landed long and ran off the end of the runway, nose gear sheared off with the airplane flipping onto its back. The pilot and passenger were uninjured and the airplane experienced substantial damage.
