The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right-wing rear spar and right aileron.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observation system located at the accident airport reported 26 minutes after the accident that the wind was from 250° at 11 knots, gusting 17 knots. The pilot landed on runway 24.
