## Analysis

THE STUDENT PLT STATED THAT HE OVERFLEW THE ARPT TO OBSERVE THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND AS INDICATED BY THE WIND SOCK. WHEN HE WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE IT, A LANDING WAS MADE ON RWY 5 WITH A LEFT QUARTERING TAILWIND. UNABLE TO STOP, THE ACFT LEFT THE RWY STRUCK A DITCH & CAME TO REST INVERTED. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PLT HAD NOT RECEIVED AN ENDORSEMENT TO FLY COMPLEX ACFT.
