Factual narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT AFTER HE TOOK OFF ON RUNWAY 35R, HE TURNED OUT TO THE NORTHEAST. HE REPORTED THAT WHEN HE REACHED 900 FT, THE ENGINE STALLED AND RESTARTED. HE NOTIFIED THE TOWER AND WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 09. A WITNESS REPORTED OBSERVING THE AIRCRAFT ON A VERY HIGH FINAL APPROACH AND STATED THE PLANE FLOATED IN GROUND EFFECT WHILE THE PILOT WAS TRYING TO LAND. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS ABOUT 500 FT AT THE (APPROACH) END OF THE 5165 FT RUNWAY WHEN HE ENCOUNTERED AT TAIL WIND. HE REPORTED THAT HE DID NOT WISH TO ATTEMPT A GO-AROUND BECAUSE OF THE PRIOR ENGINE MALFUNCTION. ABOUT 300 FT FROM THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD AND WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE 1447 EDT WEATHER OBSERVATION SHOWED THAT THE WIND WAS FROM 070 DEG AT 8 KTS.
