What happened
During a government cross-country flight, a commercial certificated pilot was performing a landing on runway 29 at an airport serving as an intermediate stop. The reported wind conditions at the time were 070 degrees at 6 knots.
Upon touchdown, the airplane began to veer to the left. In an attempt to correct the directional deviation, the pilot applied right rudder and right brake pressure. Despite these corrective actions, the aircraft continued its leftward movement. The right wingtip and the right aileron subsequently struck the gravel-covered ground located along the left side of the runway.
The impact caused the right wingtip to bend upward slightly and resulted in the trailing edge of the right aileron buckling upward. There were no injuries reported following the incident. After assessing the damage, the pilot determined the aircraft remained airworthy and proceeded to the final destination.
