## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

DURING LANDING THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A GUST OF WIND FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT WHICH CAUSED THE RIGHT WING TO PITCH UP AND THE LEFT WING TIP TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY. AS A RESULT, THE PILOT ADDED POWER. AS THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY THE RIGHT WING STUCK THE GROUND ALONG WITH THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING, PROP, AND LANDING GEAR.
