## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON LANDING ON RUNWAY 24, PILOT-IN-COMMAND MISTAKENLY PUT UP LANDING GEAR HANDLE INSTEAD OF FLAP HANDLE. LEFT MAIN AND NOSE WHEELS COLLAPSED AND AIRCRAFT SKIDDED OFF LEFT/SOUTH SIDE OF RUNWAY. A PROP STRIKE ALSO OCCURRED. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE ONLY. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ MR. ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A FINAL REPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
