Analysis
While attempting to land with a quartering tailwind, the student experienced a loss of directional control and elected to G0-around. On climbout he was unable to maintain the proper rate of climb, and once out of ground effect the aircraft started to descend. The pilot executed a forced landing into a snow covered, plowed field. The aircraft struck a ditch and nosed over.
