Narrative:

I failed to assess the active runway and landed on the opposite runway. Two other aircraft were in the pattern conducting touch and goes. My actions caused unsafe aircraft operations. I departed when wind conditions were favorable for runway 32. I flew to to practice navigation and landings. Upon my return I defaulted to runway 32 although wind conditions were calm and runway 14 was active. I did not confirm with other pilots the active runway. I also did not over fly the airport to assess aircraft movement. I proceeded to land runway 32 watching out for other aircraft. I clearly made all the call in the traffic pattern and made one final call while I was on short final. No incident occurred. My assumption is the other two pilots took corrective action to allow for my landing. I learned the dangers that light variable evening winds can have on runway activity. My primary learning experience is that I will always perform airport fly overs at 500 feet above pattern altitude to observe airport operation prior to selecting a landing runway.
