Analysis
While attempting his second ldg, after a personal cross country flight, the pilot said that he bounced, then veered off the runway substantially damaging the acft. The plt said that he landed on runway 25 with a 10 knot tailwind component. He said that he normally landed to the west regardless of the wind direction, as the last 100 yards of the runway was uphill. The pilot said he thought a brake malfunctioned, but post accident investigation revealed no malfunction or part failure.
