Analysis
During landing, the aircraft touched down with a right quartering tailwind. The pilot stated that after making a normal approach and landing, he overcontrolled the rudder. The aircraft veer off the runway and collided with a ditch before reaching the taxiway. The landing gear sheared off during impact with the ditch.
