The pilot reported that he was unable to lower the flaps. He elected to land on runway 35, which was 3801' in length, although a 6451' runway (runway 31) was available. During the landing, the airplane touched down approximately one third of the way down the runway with a high ground speed. To avoid an overrun, he attempted to turn off at the end of the runway onto a taxiway. During the turn, the airplane skidded, and the main landing gear collapsed. The flap motor was tested and found to be inoperative. The pilot stated that when he exited the airplane, he noticed a 10 to15 knot tailwind.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to use a more favorable runway, and his failure to go-around, when he realized the airplane would not touch down at the proper touchdown point. Factors relating to the accident were: the inoperative flap motor, failure of the pilot to obtain proper wind information, the tailwind, and failure of the pilot to attain the proper touchdown point during the landing.
