Incident Details
A pilot reported that during the landing phase on an uphill curved airstrip, a tailwind gust of 30 knots suddenly occurred. The pilot stated that due to the presence of obstacles and the wind conditions, he disregarded the option of an aborted landing and continued straight ahead along the runway.
Outcome
The aircraft traveled off the departure end of the runway, struck a fence, and nosed over in a ditch. The pilot noted that thunderstorms were present in the area; however, no wind was detected while operating in the traffic pattern prior to landing.
Pilot Statement
The pilot explicitly stated that the gust of tailwind happened during the landing roll on the uphill curved airstrip. He chose to continue straight ahead rather than abort the landing, citing obstacles and the wind as reasons. The pilot also mentioned that although thunderstorms were nearby, the wind conditions were not apparent during the traffic pattern.
