Sequence of Events
The pilot reported that before arriving at the destination airport, he received wind information for an airport near his destination indicating a wind from the northwest. Upon arriving at the destination, the pilot stated that he had a 'mind set' for runway 24. He touched down long on the runway. Unable to stop, the airplane overran the runway's end, collided with rough terrain, a fence, and a tree.
Pilot Comments
The pilot further indicated that his decision to select runway 24 was related to the fact that the windsock at the approach end of the runway was limp. However, the windsock at the departure end of the runway indicated a 10-knot tailwind existed. The pilot's fixation on runway 24, despite the tailwind indication at the departure end, led to the long landing and subsequent overrun.
Damage
The airplane collided with rough terrain, a fence, and a tree after overrunning the runway. The extent of damage was not specified in the source.
Findings
The investigation noted the discrepancy between the limp windsock at the approach end and the 10-knot tailwind indicated by the windsock at the departure end. The pilot's pre-existing mindset influenced the runway selection, contributing to the long landing and overrun.
