Primary finding
Probable cause
The pilot's delayed landing abort during a downwind landing. Factors which contributed to the accident were: an incorrect advisory by the unicom operator, inadequate wind direction determination by the pilot which resulted in the wrong runway selected, and the tailwind.
Investigator assessment
Analysis narrative
The pilot was twice advised by unicom that rwy 26 was being used, with winds out of the west. During landing the airplane floated, bounced twice, and the pilot initiated a go-around. The airplane exited the runway and collided with a fence. The airport manager, who witnessed the accident, stated that the pilot had a direct tailwind of 15 kts or more.
