TranStates flight 4615, an Embraer ERJ-145, N856HK, encountered strong gusting cross winds during its initial approach to runway 6 at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, Missouri, and the flight crew conducted a go around followed by an uneventful landing on the second approach. During post flight inspection, the flight crew found damage to both wing tips. The airplane was substantially damaged and there were no injuries to the 33 passengers and crew members onboard.
Probable Cause:
Probable cause: "The flight crews' failure to consider all available runways for landing to minimize the gusty crosswind component. Contributing to the accident was the captain's reduction of the engine thrust for about 1 second at low altitude immediately after the first officer applied maximum thrust to conduct a go-around."
