| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
THE PRIVATE PILOT LANDED MIDFIELD WITH A GUSTING TAILWIND. THE PLANE WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE 3,000 FOOT ASPHALT RUNWAY, AND OVERRAN INTO A SOFT TERRAIN. THE PLANE WAS DAMAGED WHEN IT RAN THROUGH A FENCE AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED IN THE SOFT TERRAIN. THE FIREWALL WAS BENT. THE PILOT SAID HE FLEW THE TAIL WIND LANDING BECAUSE HE HAD READ A SIGN ON THE AIRPORT WARNING OF 'LEGAL' CONSEQUENCES OF LANDING ON OTHER THAN RUNWAY 32, WHICH HE TOOK TO MEAN REGARDLESS OF WIND DIRECTION.
Probable Cause: WRONG RUNWAY SELECTION BY THE PILOT, RESULTING IN AN OVERRUN AND A COLLISION WITH A FENCE DURING LANDING ROLL. THE PREVAILING TAILWIND, RUNWAY INFORMATION AND MARKINGS, AND THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO USE THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT ARE FACTORS.
