Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The destination airport is a private strip that is oriented on a 150/330 degree heading. The northwest end is enclosed by tall trees. Accordingly, most landings are made toward the northwest regardless of wind direction. The pilot landed on runway 33 which had a 7 to 10 knot tailwind component. The aircraft floated and touched down long. The pilot used heavy braking, but was unable to stop on the remaining runway and struck trees about 200 feet beyond the end of the runway. The pilot reported gusty winds.
