Inadequate crosswind compensation led to CRJ700’s dual wing-tip strike

An investigation by US investigators has determined that inadequate crosswind compensation was the primary cause of the August 26, 2026, incident involving an MHIRJ CRJ700 operated by Endeavor Air at Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport. The Delta Connection aircraft made ground contact with both wingtips due to the captain's failure to sufficiently correct for gusting winds during approach and landing. According to investigators, the post-landing events occurred as the pilot overcorrected following initial ground contact. This resulted in a dual wing-tip strike on the runway surface. Further details regarding the specific conditions leading up to the event are still being compiled as part of the ongoing investigation.
