Analysis
The plt landed with a 15 KTS tailwind and over a 30 ft obstacle. The acft touched down 1/2 way down the 2000 ft long rwy. Due to excessive speed the acft went into the overrun and became airborne for a short distance before touching downin a nose low altitude resulting in a nose gear collapse and nose over.
