Analysis
At the end of a cross country flt, the plt was landing the airplane in a 5 kt, gusting to 10 kt tailwind. The airplane did not touch down until past mid-field and the plt said the brakes were not effective until two thirds of the way down the rwy. The airplane ran off the rwy and collided with trees. The airport required landing only on rwy 36 due to adverse runway gradient and rising terrain in the opposite direction.
