## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (PIC) WAS GIVING INSTRUCTION IN THE HIGH PERFORMANCE MULTI-ENGINE AIRPLANE. THE PLAN WAS TO STAY IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN AND DO SOME TOUCH AND GO'S. ON THE FIRST LANDING, THE STUDENT PILOT MEANT TO RAISE THE FLAPS, BUT INADVERTENTLY RAISED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE INSTEAD. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THE ERROR AND QUICKLY PUT THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE BACK DOWN. THE NOSE GEAR STAYED DOWN, AS DID THE LEFT MAIN GEAR , BUT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR FOLDED CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING, GEAR DOORS, FLAPS AND PROPELLER. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED.
