What happened
During an approach to a private airstrip, the pilot attempted to land on an east-west oriented runway. The pilot noted that upon overflying the windsock prior to arrival, the winds appeared to be approximately 10 knots from the north. While the pilot intended to land toward the east, the aircraft landed long and subsequently ran out of available runway surface.
As the aircraft exited the end of the runway, it encountered a rock pile located off the pavement. The pilot reported that after exiting the aircraft following the accident, he observed that the wind had become variable and appeared to have shifted. He noted that the wind might have transitioned to a tailwind during the landing phase.
At 10:58, weather recorded at the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport (OSC), situated approximately 16 nautical miles southeast of the accident location, indicated winds from 280 degrees at 11 knots, with gusts up to 16 knots. The pilot was not injured during the event, though the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
