Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing flare resulting in substantial damage to the left wing.

Factual narrative

The pilot reported that, while landing on Runway 32, a remote snow-covered gravel runway, just prior to touchdown, the left wing dropped, which resulted in a hard landing. The left wing then struck a snow berm and the airplane to spun 180°. A post-accident inspection revealed that there was substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
