Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane was substantially damaged when it overran the runway and impacted an embankment while landing on runway 16. The pilot reported that as she turned base for landing, she noted the winds shifted to favor the opposite runway. The pilot noted she entered a traffic pattern for that runway and made a normal approach. She reported encountering a tailwind upon landing and was unable to stop the airplane. The airplane overran the end of the runway and impacted an embankment. A weather station 17 nautical miles from the accident site reported the winds from 050 degrees at 12 knots, gusting to 18.
