AFTER A LOCAL FLIGHT (ABOUT 15 MIN), THE PLT & PASSENGERS RETURNED TO THE ARPT & LANDED WITH A X-WIND ON THE SAME RWY. DURING THE LANDING, THE LEFT WING TIP STRUCK THE GROUND & WAS DAMAGED. THE PLT RPRTD THAT WHEN HE DEPARTED, THE WIND WAS 'RIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY.' HE DID NOT CONSIDER THAT THE WIND WOULD HAVE SHIFTED TO A X-WIND BY THE TIME THEY HAD RETURNED. ANOTHER RWY (5/23) WAS AVAILABLE AT THE ARPT.
Probable Cause: FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO ATTAIN WIND INFORMATION, WHICH RESULTED IN HIS SELECTION OF AN UNFAVORABLE (WRONG) RUNWAY. A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WAS: THE CROSSWIND CONDITION.
