Incident Overview
During the overflight of an uncontrolled airport, both pilots observed that the wind tee indicated runway 12 as the landing direction. The aircraft subsequently landed, but it floated and touched down approximately two-thirds down the runway. The aircraft continued beyond the runway end, striking a fence and trees.
Subsequent Go-Arounds
Shortly after the accident, several other aircraft performed go-arounds due to excessive floating on the same runway.
Wind Indication System
Investigation revealed that the wind tee required manual alignment with the windsock, which was mounted on top of the tee. The windsock was faded, making it difficult to distinguish from the bright orange color of the wind tee.
Wind Conditions
The instructor pilot reported that the wind was from the north at 15 knots.
