The non-instrument rated pilot observed precipitation and low clouds along his route of flight, and chose to divert to an airport. While landing at the airport, he observed varying winds. He encountered a tailwind and heard the stall warning horn activate. He added power and completely retracted the flaps, with the intent to go-around, but the airplane contacted the runway and traveled off the right side. At the time of the accident, reported winds indicated a tailwind of 10 knots, gusting to 14 knots. Reported winds up to 1 hour prior to the accident indicated a tailwind for that particular runway. Review of the make and model airplane handbook revealed that during a go-around, pilots should partially retract the flaps first, establish an airspeed of 80 knots, then slowly retract the remaining flaps.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to follow the published go-around procedure. Factors were the pilot's improper evaluation of the wind conditions, and a tailwind.
