Incident Summary
The pilot overflew a 1,600-foot asphalt runway to assess wind direction before landing. After determining that a crosswind would exist regardless of the runway used, the pilot opted to land to the east. During touchdown, the pilot realized that the wind had shifted to come from the west, resulting in a tailwind condition estimated at 10 knots with gusts to 20 knots.
Pilot Actions
Recognizing that the tailwind might prevent stopping before the runway end, the pilot considered a go-around but decided against it due to the possibility of striking obstructions just off the departure end. The pilot was unable to stop the aircraft before it departed the runway.
Outcome
The aircraft exited the end of the runway and collided with a berm. The report does not specify injuries or aircraft damage details beyond the collision with the berm.
