The counteracted with aileron input, however, pilot banked the airplane left to return to the runway centerline. Subsequently, the left wing impacted the runway surface, which resulted in resulting in substantial damage to the left wing spar. After the wing impacted the runway surface, tThe pilot initiated and completed a go-around and landed uneventfully. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 1, with the wind from 300° at 13 knots. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N4083D](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N4083D), registered now, S/N 34783, built 1957 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CESSNA 182A - Registry model: [Cessna 182A](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182a) (registry code 2072704) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental O-470 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-o-470-series) (registry code 17026, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 34783 - Year built: 1957 - Engines: Continental O-470-L 230 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Silver Bullet Inc - Registered owner: Silver Bullet Inc - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, November 11, 2022 - Departed: KWYS, West Yellowstone, MT - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: KJAC, Jackson Hole Airport, runway 01, 6,300 × 150 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Electronic multifunction display, Angle of attack indicator, ADS-B, Stall warning system ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
