## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE MT. VERNON VISUAL TO RUNWAY 1 AT DCA WITH FORECASTED WINDS TO BE 290° AT 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS.  THE FIRST OFFICER WAS THE FLYING PILOT AND FLARED EARLY AT APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY AND ENCOUNTERED A GUST OF WIND WHICH PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE.  IN RESPONSE TO THE DRIFT, THE FIRST OFFICER OVERCORRECTED BY TURNING TO THE LEFT AND THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE RUNWAY SURFACE.  PER THE APPROVED AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL, BANK ANGLES OF 11° OR MORE WHEN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY (APPROX. 5 FEET OR LESS) TO THE GROUND WILL RESULT IN A WINGTIP STRIKE.  THE POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED SCRATCHES TO THE PAINTED SURFACE OF THE LEFT WINGTIP TRAILING EDGE AND THE LEFT SLAT.

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.
