What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: aircraft departed boulder (1V5) arpt on a LCL flight with one passenger and the pilot/owner aboard. The passenger was the pilots young son who was in the right seat. The time was approx. 12 noon MST. The aircraft proceeded to ase to practice t.o. & landings. On landing roll out at ABOUT13:46 MST, the pilot inadvertently retracted the landing gear when he thought he was retracting the wing flaps. This caused the nose gear to collapse. Minor damage occurred to the nose and rt. Main geardoors, nose lower lobe and sudden stoppage to the propeller and engine, due to the retraction of the nose gear. The occupants exited the aircraft without injury. The runway was closed for 1 hr + 40 minutes. Before removal. Based on an interview with the pilot/owner. privacy data omitted See attached statement by this inspector dated 2-28-96. This statement is based on my discussion with the safety program manager (spm), janna gowthrop concerning remedial training that I proposed for david wyatt, pilot owner of N222HC, Beech model A-36 when he inadvertently retracted the landing gear on landing roll out at ase, 12-25-95. During an interview with Mr. Wyatt, myself and janna to discuss the details of remedial training a possible misleading check list item was brought to our attention by Mr. Wyatt which he interpreted as Beech's recommendation to always retract the flaps on rollout. It was decided that follow up on the check list with beechcraft/raytheon by both Mr. Wyatt and the spm and counseling of Mr. Wyatt was appropriate rather than remedial training.
