Narrative:
DURING ARRIVAL, THE PILOT ENTERED THE PATTERN TO LAND ON RUNWAY 25 WITH THE WIND FROM 330 DEGREES AT 18 KTS. TO COMPENSATE FOR THE CROSSWIND, HE PREPARED HIMSELF FOR A RIGHT WING LOW LANDING. HOWEVER, THE PILOT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTED TO ROUND OUT, THE WIND WENT CALM. THEREFORE, HE LEVELED THE WINGS AND MADE A 3-POINT LANDING. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE NOSE STARTED MOVING TO THE RIGHT, AS THE CROSSWIND INCREASED, AND HE CORRECTED WITH LEFT RUDDER. AT ABOUT THAT TIME, THE RIGHT WING LIFTED RAPIDLY INTO THE AIR AND THE LEFT WING TIP HIT THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT CORRECTED WITH RIGHT RUDDER AND AILERON AND ADDED POWER. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE RIGHT WING TIP HIT THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT THEN SLID A SHORT DISTANCE ON ITS NOSE AND STOPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY.
