Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot elected to land with a 12 to 15 knot tailwind. An excessive ground speed resulted with an overshoot. The pilot elected to go-around too late and once the go-around was attempted the aircraft struck trees at the departure end of the runway at about 10 ft AGL. The acft came to rest in a freshly plowed field.
