From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: while taxiing, the SIC selected the landing gear "up", rather than the flaps, while completing the "after landing" checklist. The mains retracted, causing the a/c to settle on the nose gear and tail skid. Damage was done to the props, gear hyd., cylinders, and tail.
