ACR LGT FRT ACFT CFTT AT TLC; FO.

Narrative

WE WERE CLRED FOR THE TLC VOR DME 33 APCH; EXECUTED THE OUTBOUND AND INBOUND LEGS OF THE APCH AND DSNDED TO THE MDA AFTER 7 DME INBOUND. THE CAPT CALLED THE PAPI IN SIGHT AT OR ABOUT 8 DME. I LOOKED UP AND SAW THE PAPI THROUGH THE FOG; BUT NO RWY SO I WENT BACK ON INSTS. WHEN THE CAPT CALLED THE RWY IN SIGHT I LOOKED UP AND SAW THE RWY ABOUT 1 3/4 MI AHEAD ON THE L SIDE OF THE ACFT (NOTE: THE APCH COURSE FOR RWY 33 IS OFFSET FROM THE RWY CENTERLINE). THERE WAS FOG OBSCURING THE LAST 3/4 OF THE RWY SURFACE; BUT THE EXTENDED CENTERLINE AND FIRST 1/4 OF THE RWY WAS VISIBLE THROUGH LIGHT FOG. I DSNDED FROM MDA AND BEGAN TO MANEUVER TO LINE UP WITH THE CENTERLINE. AS I APCHED THE TOUCHDOWN POINT THE ACFT WAS DRIFTING R OF CENTERLINE AND THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT WAS NOT STRAIGHT DOWN THE RWY. BEFORE TOUCHDOWN I INITIATED THE REJECT LNDG PROC. WITH THRUST AT GAR; PITCH AT APPROX 10 DEG NOSE UP AND CORRECTING L TO REMAIN OVER THE RWY SURFACE I FELT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE L MAIN GEAR LIGHTLY TOUCHING THE SURFACE OF THE RWY. WE EXECUTED THE MISSED APCH PROC AND EXECUTED THE SAME APCH AGAIN AND LANDED. ON POST-FLT INSPECTION FOUND L WING TIP AND TRAILING EDGE FLAP FARING DAMAGED. BECAUSE RWY SURFACE WAS OBSCURED THE LAST 3/4; IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET A PERCEPTION OF THE BANK ANGLE NECESSARY TO PROPERLY ALIGN WITH THE CENTERLINE OF THE RWY. THIS IS A VERY HIGH ALT ARPT (8448 FT). WITH 512 FT TO LOSE FROM THE MDA TO TOUCHDOWN AND 1 3/4 MI OUT; AND BECAUSE GND SPD AND TRUE AIRSPD WAS HIGHER (IAS WAS ON TARGET) IT GIVES YOU LESS TIME TO MANEUVER FROM THE OFFSET INBOUND COURSE TO THE RWY CENTERLINE. THE WING TIP STRUCK THE RWY SURFACE 15 FT BEYOND THE FIXED DISTANCE MARKER XING THE CENTERLINE AT A 20 DEG ANGLE FOR ABOUT 150 FT WITH MINOR DAMAGE TO THE L WING TIP.
