Accident Overview
A private pilot was performing a landing on runway 32, which is 3,305 feet long and 50 feet wide, with a dry asphalt surface. As the aircraft crossed the runway threshold, the pilot heard a wind shear warning broadcast over the UNICOM frequency. The pilot later reported that the wind changed to a tailwind, which caused the airplane to float down the runway, making it difficult to get the airplane down.
Sequence of Events
The airplane continued past the end of the runway and subsequently impacted terrain. During the runway excursion, the nose landing gear separated from the airframe. The airplane came to rest in an upright position. At the time of the accident, the winds were reported as variable and gusty.
Aircraft Damage
The nose landing gear separated from the airframe during the terrain impact. The extent of other damage is not specified in the source.
