THE PLT WAS MAKING TOUCH & GO LANDINGS AT A PRIVATE GRASS STRIP. THE LANDINGS WERE TO RWYS 14 & 32. ON THE 1ST APPROACH THE WIND SOCK INDICATED CALM WIND. THE LAST APPROACH WAS MADE WITH ZERO FLAPS. THE PLT SLIPPED THE ACFT ON FINAL APPROACH & CROSSED RWY THRESHOLD AT 90 KNOTS. THE PILOT STATED THAT A 10 KNOT WIND WAS BLOWING (TAILWIND) WHEN HE TOUCHED DOWN APPROXIMATELY 1/2 TO 3/4 OF THE DISTANCE DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ACFT AND IT VEERED TO THE RIGHT, DEPARTED THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A WOODEN SIGN POST.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO REMAIN AWARE OF THE LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, HE EXECUTED THE APPROACH AND LANDING WITH EXCESSIVE SPEED, COMBINED WITH A TAILWIND, WHICH RESULTED IN THE RUNWAY OVERRUN.
