The airplane veered off the side of the runway while landing and impacted terrain. The pilot reported the airplane veered to the left of the centerline while landing on runway 36. The airplane contacted a ditch prior to coming to a stop. The pilot reported during a telephone interview that he knew he was landing with a 5 knot or better quartering tailwind. He stated that they typically land on runway 18. He stated he didn't know why they primarily used runway 18, it was just the "pattern that the other guys use." On a written form completed by the pilot, he reported the winds were from 180 degrees at 8 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing. Contributing factors to the accident were the tailwind condition, the pilot's selection of the wrong runway on which to land and the ditch.
