## Probable cause

The pilot's improper in-flight decision to land on a runway with a tailwind component that exceeded the airplane's tailwind limitation and his failure to perform a go-around which resulted in the proper touchdown point not being attained and the airplane landing long.  Also causal was the inadequate snow removal procedures used by the airport personnel and the airport personnel failed to issue NOTAMS in accordance with existing regulations, resulting in the landing gear to fail in overload as a result of hitting a ridge of snow and/or ice on the runway during landing roll.  Additional factors included the contaminated runway; the tailwind; the snow; and the dark night.
