Pilot Report
The pilot stated that during a pass over the private strip, the windsock indicated wind out of the north. In contrast, Midland Regional Airport was reporting winds from 110 degrees at 13 knots. The pilot reported that the aircraft touched down at a higher than normal airspeed.
Accident Sequence
The aircraft landed long and subsequently ran through a fence at the end of the runway. According to the pilot, the aircraft floated during the flare due to the tailwind and a low fuel load. By the time the nose gear was on the ground, he was committed and could not go around.
Contributing Factors
The pilot's account indicates that the discrepancy between the windsock indication and the official wind report, combined with the low fuel load, contributed to a longer landing. However, no formal probable cause has been stated in the source.
