Analysis
According to the instructor (CFI), the student was making a practice landing when a sudden windshift occurred. He rprtd that when they were on the downwind for their 5th landing, the wind was from the wsw, but just before the landing, it changed to a quartering tailwind. The CFI took control of the acft, but it touched down near the midpoint of the rwy. Rprtdly, braking was not effective since the weight of the acft was not on the gear. The acft contd off the end of the rwy & hit a tree. According to the CFI, before takeoff, the wind was from the sw at 10 KTS. Aprx 9 mi south at the Albuquerque intl arpt, the 1853 MDT special wx observation showed that the wind was from 030 deg at 20 gusting 34 KTS & there was a thunderstorm with light rain.
