Accident Overview
An airline transport certificated pilot was performing a full-stop landing in a tailwheel and tundra tire-equipped airplane when a crosswind condition led to an abnormal event. The pilot reported a 15-knot right quartering crosswind during the approach and touchdown.
Landing and Abort
As the tailwheel touched the runway surface, the right wing began to rise. In response, the pilot added engine power to abort the landing. However, during the transition to a go-around, as the airplane became airborne, the left wing struck the runway.
Subsequent Landing and Inspection
After the wing strike, the pilot continued the go-around and performed an uneventful landing on a subsequent attempt. An examination of the left wing disclosed damage to the outboard left wing rib and the outboard left aileron rib. No other damage was reported.
Pilot Details
The pilot held an airline transport certificate. The specific aircraft type, registration, and operator were not provided in the source. The flight was conducted under unknown conditions beyond the reported crosswind.
