Probable cause
The pilot's failure to perform a go-around. The tailwind and the pilot's selection of the downwind runway were factor.
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 airplane touched down long and traveled off the east end of the runway. It then crossed a road and came to rest in a ditch. A pilot who landed 10 minutes prior to the accident airplane stated the winds were calm when he landed; however, another witness at the airport stated the 20 knot wind sock was standing straight out indicating a tailwind when the accident airplane landed. The pilot stated that most pilots tended to land to the east and take off to the west in order to avoid having to turn their airplanes around in the turn around areas which are small.
