During landing, the aircraft touched the runway with engine No. 4.
A strong, not predictable, wind shear on approach resulted in complicated flight conditions during the flare phase. Vigorous deflection of ailerons in the process of compensating for the resulting turning moments acting on the aircraft due to wind shear resulted in a right roll on levelling.
Associated factors:
Lack of crew information about possible wind shear on landing; crew unpreparedness for a difficult situation on approach due to insufficient weather information.
