Incident Overview
A pilot reported that upon arrival at the airstrip, one windsock was hanging limp and there were no other indications of wind conditions. Witnesses at the scene described a strong south wind of approximately 15 knots, with both airport windsocks showing commensurate indications. Additionally, whitecaps were observed on the adjacent lake surface, characteristic of a south wind.
Flight Details
The pilot executed an approach to the north to a 1,900-foot-long turf runway. The aircraft touched down past the midpoint of the runway and subsequently overran the upwind end of the runway.
Conditions at the Time
The airstrip featured a single turf runway. The pilot's observation of a limp windsock contrasted with the conditions reported by witnesses, who noted substantial wind activity consistent with a southerly breeze. No further details about the aircraft or the outcome of the overrun were provided in the source.
