| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that he attempted to land two times. On the second landing on runway 03, he 'touched down about halfway down the runway,' he applied brakes, and the airplane slowed down. When it looked as though the airplane would not stop he applied power to go-around and the airplane struck trees. The pilot said that when he started his approach it looked to him, based on the wind sock, that the winds were across the runway from his left to the right. A witness saw the airplane landing downwind and long. The reported winds were from 300 degrees at 16 knots.
Probable Cause: the pilot landed the airplane with a tailwind condition, too long and too fast for the runway conditions.
