| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that on returning from a local flight he made an approach to land in light wind conditions. He was not satisfied with this nor the subsequent approach, and go-arounds were carried out. The third approach was normal, although the aircraft floated for some distance before touching down. The pilot was unable to bring the aircraft to a halt within the confines of the strip, and it came to rest in a gully. He then observed that the wind had changed from a headwind to a tailwind of about 10 knots, and this had evidently affected the landing performance of the aircraft.
