Incident Overview
A pilot reported losing control of an airplane during a landing attempt in known high crosswind conditions. The incident occurred when the pilot attempted a one-wheel wheel landing technique, which led to a series of bounces and ultimately a loss of control.
Approach and Landing Attempt
During the approach, the pilot applied nearly full right aileron and nearly full left rudder to maintain runway alignment. The pilot described the landing technique: "I tried to do a 1 wheel, wheel landing. This is done by immediately applying forward pressure to the control column when the 1 wheel contacts the runway."
Sequence of Events
When the pilot applied forward pressure upon wheel contact, the airplane bounced. The bouncing continued for approximately 1,000 feet before the pilot decided to abort the landing. Upon applying back pressure and power, the pilot lost control of the airplane. The left wing then contacted the ground, and the aircraft cartwheeled, substantially damaging both wings.
Damage
The event resulted in substantial damage to both wings. No further details about injuries or other damage were provided in the pilot's report.
