Narrative:
I was the captain on an aircraft on a normal instrument approach to runway 34 at yyc. During the flare, a left drift was corrected for and the aircraft touched down on the right main gear first. Slight damage to the underside of the right wing was found on postflt. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the aircraft damage was to the right wing outboard leading edge slat. The reporter RVR of 5000 ft appeared to be less at the touchdown zone.

Title: POSTFLT INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO R WING LEADING EDGE SLAT ON LNDG WHILE CORRECTING FOR DRIFT. VISIBILITY AT, OR NEAR, MINIMUMS.
Narrative: I WAS THE CAPT ON AN ACFT ON A NORMAL INST APCH TO RWY 34 AT YYC. DURING THE FLARE, A L DRIFT WAS CORRECTED FOR AND THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE R MAIN GEAR FIRST. SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE R WING WAS FOUND ON POSTFLT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE ACFT DAMAGE WAS TO THE R WING OUTBOARD LEADING EDGE SLAT. THE RPTR RVR OF 5000 FT APPEARED TO BE LESS AT THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE.
