Incident Overview
A private certificated pilot was landing at his private airstrip adjacent to his cabin. The dirt runway, oriented southeast/northwest, measured approximately 600 feet in length and 60 feet in width. The pilot reported that he overflew the strip several times before commencing the landing.
Approach and Maneuvers
Selecting full flaps, the pilot initiated a landing approach toward the northwest. During the descent, a wind shift occurred, producing a tailwind. This tailwind caused the airplane to be carried beyond the pilot's intended landing spot, and the aircraft inadvertently touched down beyond the desired point.
Abort and Collision
Recognizing the situation, the pilot applied full power in an attempt to abort the landing. However, the airplane collided with brush at the end of the airstrip and subsequently nosed over. The accident resulted in damage to the wings, fuselage, and tail of the aircraft.
