## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY 30 AT KLWS. PILOT WAS EXECUTING A SOFT FIELD THREE POINT LANDING. UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE LEFT WING BEGAN TO DIP. PILOT APPLIED RIGHT AILERON WHICH BROUGHT THE LEFT WING UP. HOWEVER, THE LEFT WING DIPPED AGAIN AS AILERON EFFECTIVENESS WAS LOST. THE LEFT WING TIP STRUCK THE RUNWAY CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO SPIN 180 DEGREES TO THE LEFT WHERE IT CAME TO REST. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WAS FOUND SEPERATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
