Narrative:

On approach to pit runway 28R, we were issued a 280 degree heading with a clearance to expect visibility approach when we saw the runway. At 3-4 mi we saw the runway and we were approximately 1 mi north of centerline. A left, and then a right, turn put us very close to centerline. A final correction required a bank to the left. During that bank the left wing contacted the runway momentarily. A contributing factor was haze, and we were looking into the sun which reduced visibility to 3-4 mi, instead of the ATIS 7 mi. Wing damage was discovered by captain at the gate. Damage was minor and included on the left.east. Slat.

Title: FO FLYING APCH AND LNDG IN LGT AT PIT DRUG LEFT WING FLAP ON LNDG.

Narrative: ON APCH TO PIT RWY 28R, WE WERE ISSUED A 280 DEG HDG WITH A CLRNC TO EXPECT VIS APCH WHEN WE SAW THE RWY. AT 3-4 MI WE SAW THE RWY AND WE WERE APPROX 1 MI N OF CENTERLINE. A LEFT, AND THEN A RIGHT, TURN PUT US VERY CLOSE TO CENTERLINE. A FINAL CORRECTION REQUIRED A BANK TO THE LEFT. DURING THAT BANK THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE RWY MOMENTARILY. A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR WAS HAZE, AND WE WERE LOOKING INTO THE SUN WHICH REDUCED VISIBILITY TO 3-4 MI, INSTEAD OF THE ATIS 7 MI. WING DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED BY CAPT AT THE GATE. DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND INCLUDED ON THE L.E. SLAT.
