What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
PIC stated the following:
-Obtained all relevant information on 14AZ.
-Obtained weather forecast info from national weather service.
-Performed pre-flight check with no issues, fuel samples and quantity were acceptable (nine gallons usable, in each tank).
-Krny ATIS reported winds from east at 10 w/ gusts to 15.
-Contacted local 14AZ person for recommended landing runway. Runway 24 was recommended, as it has a 3% uphill grade and is preferred, even with a quartering tailwind.
-No difficulty landing. Landed 600-700 feet from threshold.
-Ground roll was faster than usual, which was expected, due to tailwind.
-As acft slowed, it was being pushed to left side of runway, eventually requiring full right rudder, left aileron and control full forward.
-Just prior to being pushed off of the runway, power was added to keep nose up in an effort to avoid the drainage ditch between the runway and taxiway.
-The acft immediately accelerated, across the taxiway, into the brush adjacent to the taxiway.
-The acft came to a stop against a small tree.
-No injuries due to a 4 point restraint system having been installed.
-Turned off ignition and exited the acft.
