THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN LONG AND TRAVELED OFF THE EAST END OF THE RUNWAY. IT THEN CROSSED A ROAD AND CAME TO REST IN A DITCH. A PILOT WHO LANDED 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AIRPLANE STATED THE WINDS WERE CALM WHEN HE LANDED; HOWEVER, ANOTHER WITNESS AT THE AIRPORT STATED THE 20 KNOT WIND SOCK WAS STANDING STRAIGHT OUT INDICATING A TAILWIND WHEN THE ACCIDENT AIRPLANE LANDED. THE PILOT STATED THAT MOST PILOTS TENDED TO LAND TO THE EAST AND TAKE OFF TO THE WEST IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING TO TURN THEIR AIRPLANES AROUND IN THE TURN AROUND AREAS WHICH ARE SMALL.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM A GO-AROUND. THE TAILWIND AND THE PILOT'S SELECTION OF THE DOWNWIND RUNWAY WERE FACTOR.
