A nearby weather observation station indicated a 6-knot tailwind component for the runway in use. The runway was described as a short grass strip. The pilot reported that sunglare impaired her ability to see the landing area.
Aircraft Damage
The left wing sustained damage from striking a tree. The aircraft came to rest in a wooded area across the street from the runway.
