Narrative:

I was using runway 22 at put-in-bay which is 2870 ft by 22 ft. There are trees at the approach end and there was a crosswind which was within crosswind component limits of the beech duchess. Near the ground, my right wing dipped and I corrected back to the left. I believe this was caused by a wind gust. The left wing dipped on my correction which was further aggravated by the wind. My left gear touched down first, (the wind was from the right), and the left wingtip must have touched the ground also. I did not realize at the time it had touched. I flew on an IFR flight plan back to lunken where I discovered the wingtip had touched on the post- flight. I feel the primary causes of this incident were the crosswind, the trees at the approach end, the narrow runway, and my correction to the left, which I believe was aggravated by the right crosswind, and a possible gust. To prevent this from happening again for myself and others: review of crosswind lndgs and procedures, review of anticipation of effects of wind gusts on airplane attitude on landing. The damage to the airplane appears to be less than $1000.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: WINGTIP DRAGGED ON LNDG.

Narrative: I WAS USING RWY 22 AT PUT-IN-BAY WHICH IS 2870 FT BY 22 FT. THERE ARE TREES AT THE APCH END AND THERE WAS A XWIND WHICH WAS WITHIN XWIND COMPONENT LIMITS OF THE BEECH DUCHESS. NEAR THE GND, MY R WING DIPPED AND I CORRECTED BACK TO THE L. I BELIEVE THIS WAS CAUSED BY A WIND GUST. THE L WING DIPPED ON MY CORRECTION WHICH WAS FURTHER AGGRAVATED BY THE WIND. MY L GEAR TOUCHED DOWN FIRST, (THE WIND WAS FROM THE R), AND THE L WINGTIP MUST HAVE TOUCHED THE GND ALSO. I DID NOT REALIZE AT THE TIME IT HAD TOUCHED. I FLEW ON AN IFR FLT PLAN BACK TO LUNKEN WHERE I DISCOVERED THE WINGTIP HAD TOUCHED ON THE POST- FLT. I FEEL THE PRIMARY CAUSES OF THIS INCIDENT WERE THE XWIND, THE TREES AT THE APCH END, THE NARROW RWY, AND MY CORRECTION TO THE L, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS AGGRAVATED BY THE R XWIND, AND A POSSIBLE GUST. TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS: REVIEW OF XWIND LNDGS AND PROCS, REVIEW OF ANTICIPATION OF EFFECTS OF WIND GUSTS ON AIRPLANE ATTITUDE ON LNDG. THE DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE APPEARS TO BE LESS THAN $1000.
