Incident Overview
A pilot reported that upon arrival at the airport, the wind was from 330 degrees, gusting to about 15 to 17 knots. During the final approach to land on Runway 27L, the pilot decided to slip the aircraft and use a faster than normal speed to compensate for the wind and the extra weight of the passengers.
Landing and Runway Excursion
After landing, the pilot realized they were running out of runway and decided to let the airplane go through the grass to slow down. However, during this grass roll, the wing tip of the aircraft hit a windsock pole, causing damage to the wing.
Damage
The wing tip was damaged as a result of the collision with the windsock pole. No other damage was reported. The aircraft was able to exit the grass area, and no injuries were mentioned in the report.
