Analysis
The acft was dispatched to the Cuba, NM area to pick up a critically ill patient. The state police blocked off a section of highway for the acft to land on. The plt landed on the highway, but drg the landing roll, the underside of the rgt wing struck a road marker post. The plt believed the damage was minor & contd the mission. Later, two FAA inspectors examined the acft. In their opinion, a two inch wide tear in the rgt aileron constituted substantial damage.
