That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N5847X's record changes.
The pilot reported that he decided to land with a tailwind to avoid landing into the setting sun. The remote site he was landing at was approximately 800 ft long. He said that his touchdown speed was “fast” and when the airplane touched down, it bounced back into the air. He attempted a go-around, but the airplane “did not build speed back up,” at the end of the strip he opted to reduce engine power. The airplane subsequently landed in rough terrain and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
