## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, FROM CHICAGO, IL TO CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, ENCOUNTERED WIND GUSTS DURING THE TOUCH DOWN PHASE ON RUNWAY 21 AT APPROXIMATELY THIRTY FEET ABOVE GROUND. AS A RESULT, THE RIGHT WINGTIP CONTACTED THE PAVEMENT DURING A REJECTED LANDING PROCEDURE, CAUSING GOUGING AND SCRAPING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT NUMBER THREE SLAT OUTER SKIN AND TO THE WINGLET TRAILING EDGE WEDGE. THE CREW PERFORMED A GO-AROUND PROCEDURE AND A SECOND LANDING ATTEMPT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AND TAXIED TO THE GATE.

SKYWEST AIRLINES RECEIVED A REPAIR ENGINEERING ORDER FROM ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, (MHIRJ) TO INSPECT THE AIRCRAFT AND PREPARE IT FOR A ONE-TIME NON-REVENUE FLIGHT TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ BASE IN TUCSON, AZ FOR REPAIRS.

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.
