What happened
Upon completing a landing on runway 30 at Lee Airport (ANP) in Annapolis, Maryland, the aircraft was struck by a sudden gust of wind. The force of the wind lifted the right wing vertically, causing the left wing tip and the left wheel to make contact with the ground. Following this impact, the aircraft performed a 180-degree turn and came to a stop in an upright position on the left side of the runway.
The pilot reported that during the approach for landing, the wind was blowing down the runway at approximately 11 knots, which did not necessitate a crosswind landing technique. Weather observations from Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) indicated winds from 040 degrees at 9 knots, with gusts reaching 17 knots. The pilot confirmed that there were no mechanical deficiencies present in the aircraft at the time of the event. There were no injuries reported.
