Incident Overview
An aircraft sustained damage to its landing gear and both wings during a landing on an open field. The pilot had initially landed on a gravel bar during a fishing trip but decided to reposition the aircraft to a longer plateau due to increasing density altitude.
Sequence of Events
Upon landing in the open field, the right main landing gear struck a rock. The impact bent the landing gear, causing the wing to drag along the ground. As the aircraft slowed, it tipped forward and to the left, resulting in damage to the left wing.
Damage
The landing gear was bent, and both wings sustained damage. The right wing was dragged due to the gear bending, and the left wing was damaged when the aircraft tipped.
