NTSB Factual Report

The commercial pilot made a three point landing in his single-engine airplane but landed on the right side of the runway centerline and bounced. This caused the airplane to move further to the right toward the edge of the runway and the right wing tip struck a fence post and subsequently cracked the wing spar. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing.
