## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 9TH, 2024, THE FLIGHT WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 1L AT THE GENERAL MITCHELL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MKE) IN MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN WHEN THE RIGHT WINGTIP AND RIGHT OUTBOARD LEADING-EDGE SLAT MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY.

REPORTED WEATHER OBSERVATION AT THE TIME INDICATE WINDS FROM 270 DEGREES AT 16 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 26 KNOTS AND UPDATED SHORTLY AFTER THE EVENT WITH WINDS AT 270 DEGREES AT 19 WITH GUSTS TO 30.

FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (FDR) DATA REVEALED THAT AT APPROX. TWO FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED 14 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT.  PER THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER’S CRJ PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK AND MANUFACTURER; WITH THE MAIN LANDING GEAR ON OR VERY CLOSE TO THE RUNWAY, BANK ANGLES IN EXCESS OF 11 DEGREES ON LANDING WILL RESULT IN A WING STRIKE.

IN THEIR STATEMENT, THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) COMMENTED THEY HAD LEFT CROSSWIND CORRECTION IN AND HEARD THE FIVE FOOT CALLOUT IN THE FLARE WHEN THEY EXPERIENCED A WIND GUST THAT RAISED THE LEFT WING AND INDUCED THE ROLL TO THE RIGHT CAUSING THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TO TOUCH DOWN ON THE RUNWAY.  WHILE MISMANAGED CONTROLS IS CITED AS A SECONDARY FACTOR, THE FACT THE GUST WAS ENCOUNTERED AT 2 FT. ABOVE THE RUNWAY, IT DID NOT ALLOW FOR MUCH REACTION TIME FOR THE CREW.

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.
