## Narrative

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

THE FIRST OFFICER WHOM WAS FLYING THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEHIND IN TERMS OF CONFIGURING FOR LANDING AND INITIATING THE DESCENT INTO DEN, AS RESULT OF THIS HE OVER CONTROLLED THE AIRCRAFT BY AGGRESSIVE CONTROL INPUTS. THE FIRST WAS THE RUDDER, WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LEFT RUDDER BEING APPLIED TO ALIGN THE NOSE OF THE AIRPLANE WITH THE RUNWAY FOLLOWED BY AN APPLICATION OF RIGHT RUDDER (OVER CORRECTING THE OVER CORRECTION).

THE CAPTAIN QUICKLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE RUDDERS TO PREVENT THE FIRST OFFICER FROM CONTINUING TO OVER CONTROL THE YAW MOTION. THE TOUCHDOWN WAS ROUGH DUE TO SIDE-LOAD ON THE GEAR.  AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE THRUST LEVERS WERE SET AT ABOUT HALF TRAVEL CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO BECOME AIRBORNE AGAIN AND DRIFTING TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE FIRST OFFICER INTRODUCED A BANK TO THE RIGHT TO RETURN TO CENTERLINE. THE RESULT OF THIS OVER CONTROLLING CAUSED THE RIGHT WING TIP TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WING TIP AREA.

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.
