Airplane

The second pilot turned onto a 4 mile final from the end of the runway. The second pilot said at one mile from the end of the runway,
the airplane was stabilized on the glide slope and localizer inbound course, at a landing approach speed of 122 knots. Crossing the
runway threshold, the pilot-in-command called out to the second pilot, 'Ref (landing approach speed), three green, cleared to land.'
Approximately 3 feet above the runway surface, the pilot-in- command called out 'Ref minus 10 [knots indicated airspeed]. As he spoke,
the pilot-in- command said he felt a slight increase in sink [rate], followed immediately by a violent roll to the right. The right tip
tank struck the runway surface. Examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
