Narrative:

The evening of mar/xa/97 provided good visual conditions for a visual approach to runway 29L. The flight and approach was normal under all circumstances. When we were within 4-5 mi of runway 29L, msp tower advised us that an aircraft was taxiing into position on runway 29L. We acknowledged the report and continued the visual approach. When we were approximately 3-4 mi from touchdown, the aircraft that was in position started its takeoff roll. Neither myself nor the other pilot recalls exactly what type of aircraft it was. The approach was normal as I stated earlier and our speed over the approach end of the runway was vref + 10 KTS. Approximately 3 ft off the ground, the airplane suddenly rolled to the right, causing the right wingtip to contact the runway. The aircraft remained in control at all times and a normal landing roll to a full stop was accomplished. On a postflt inspection some superficial damage was observed on the right wingtip. A ferry permit was issued to us and the aircraft was flown to appleton, wi, for repairs. The wind conditions at the time of this event were out of the northwest at 10 KTS.

Title: THE CPR FLC OF AN LTT RPT ENCOUNTERING A ROLL MOMENT DURING THE TOUCHDOWN PHASE OF LNDG THAT WAS APPARENTLY GENERATED BY A RECENT DEP. THE DEP ACFT TYPE IS UNKNOWN. THE RPTR'S ACFT WAS DAMAGED SLIGHTLY.

Narrative: THE EVENING OF MAR/XA/97 PROVIDED GOOD VISUAL CONDITIONS FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 29L. THE FLT AND APCH WAS NORMAL UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN WE WERE WITHIN 4-5 MI OF RWY 29L, MSP TWR ADVISED US THAT AN ACFT WAS TAXIING INTO POS ON RWY 29L. WE ACKNOWLEDGED THE RPT AND CONTINUED THE VISUAL APCH. WHEN WE WERE APPROX 3-4 MI FROM TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT THAT WAS IN POS STARTED ITS TKOF ROLL. NEITHER MYSELF NOR THE OTHER PLT RECALLS EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF ACFT IT WAS. THE APCH WAS NORMAL AS I STATED EARLIER AND OUR SPD OVER THE APCH END OF THE RWY WAS VREF + 10 KTS. APPROX 3 FT OFF THE GND, THE AIRPLANE SUDDENLY ROLLED TO THE R, CAUSING THE R WINGTIP TO CONTACT THE RWY. THE ACFT REMAINED IN CTL AT ALL TIMES AND A NORMAL LNDG ROLL TO A FULL STOP WAS ACCOMPLISHED. ON A POSTFLT INSPECTION SOME SUPERFICIAL DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED ON THE R WINGTIP. A FERRY PERMIT WAS ISSUED TO US AND THE ACFT WAS FLOWN TO APPLETON, WI, FOR REPAIRS. THE WIND CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT WERE OUT OF THE NW AT 10 KTS.
