Narrative:
This event was a wingtip contact on the runway surface. Contributing factors include, a moderate crosswind component, as well as wake turbulence of a previous aircraft on the same runway. All conditions appeared to be normal until the instant of aircraft landing. The crew was not aware of any wingtip damage until the attempt was made to retract the flaps and the #1 (left side) leading edge slat would not retract. Perhaps more time between landing aircraft would have prevented this event.

Narrative: THIS EVENT WAS A WINGTIP CONTACT ON THE RWY SURFACE. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDE, A MODERATE XWIND COMPONENT, AS WELL AS WAKE TURB OF A PREVIOUS ACFT ON THE SAME RWY. ALL CONDITIONS APPEARED TO BE NORMAL UNTIL THE INSTANT OF ACFT LNDG. THE CREW WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY WINGTIP DAMAGE UNTIL THE ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO RETRACT THE FLAPS AND THE #1 (L SIDE) LEADING EDGE SLAT WOULD NOT RETRACT.
