Narrative:
Aircraft was flared high resulting in excessive pitch and right bank to control wind drift, causing right wingtip to contact runway. Student captain was flying approach and landing. This student captain has not been previously qualified on any narrow body aircraft. It would be my opinion when a student has never flown narrow body aircraft, their simulator training should include at least 1 full period for lndgs.

Title: TWIN ENG MLG JET STRUCK WINGTIP WHILE LNDG. STUDENT CAPT WAS ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT FOR A XWIND.
Narrative: ACFT WAS FLARED HIGH RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE PITCH AND R BANK TO CTL WIND DRIFT, CAUSING R WINGTIP TO CONTACT RWY. STUDENT CAPT WAS FLYING APCH AND LNDG. THIS STUDENT CAPT HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY QUALIFIED ON ANY NARROW BODY ACFT. IT WOULD BE MY OPINION WHEN A STUDENT HAS NEVER FLOWN NARROW BODY ACFT, THEIR SIMULATOR TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE AT LEAST 1 FULL PERIOD FOR LNDGS.
