Narrative:
Overshot the runway while landing with a tailwind component. Ended up in a pond.
The aircraft was engaged in a fire observation mission.

CONCLUSIONS
The accident occurred because the pilot made a landing that was too long, with an excessive tailwind component, which led the aircraft to go off the end of the runway and end up partially submerged in a pond located on the extension of the runway.
Additionally, it is considered that the Cessna 337 aircraft type has landing and takeoff performances that limit its operation at the Beáriz aerodrome.
