Narrative:The airplane nosed over after veering off the runway during landing. The certified flight instructor (CFI) reported the student pilot was circling to land for runway 9, but was told by a person on the ground that the winds were from the northwest. The student pilot then began to circle for runway 27. The CFI reported that the approach was normal and the student landed on the runway centerline. The student landed flat and the airplane bounced. The CFI pulled back on the yoke and the airplane drifted to the left. The airplane touched down on the left side of the runway and veered further to the left. The CFI reported she stated to the student, "I have the controls." The student pilot reported she was not sure who was on the controls. The airplane went into the mud to the left of the runway and nosed over. A weather reporting station 11 miles to the east-northeast of the accident site reported the winds from 050 degrees at 14 knots gusting to 18 knots.
Probable Cause: The flight instuctor's improper in-flight decision to land with a tailwind and failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing. Factors contributing to the accident were the tailwind, the student pilot's inadequate flare, and the muddy terrain.
