Narrative:The pilot touched down on runway 24 with a light (3 knot) right quartering tailwind from 040 degrees. The airplane bounced and the pilot overcorrected during his attempted recovery. The pilot lost directional control following application of brakes. During his overcorrection, the airplane's tires deposited 300 feet of skid marks on the runway following which the airplane veered off the side of the runway. The pilot indicated that the accident could have been prevented had he acquired more experience handling his airplane in the existing conditions.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control and improper corrective action while landing in a quartering tailwind condition. A contributing factor was his lack of experience in the type of operation.
