Probable cause

The pilot’s inadequate compensation for a sudden wind shift during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway overrun.

NTSB narrative

The pilot stated that there was a sudden wind shift from a headwind to a tailwind during the landing roll. This pushed the airplane past the end of the runway and down a 50-foot embankment and resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and control surfaces. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have affected normal operation.
