## Narrative

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

PILOT LOWERED GEAR, THEN ON LANDING CHECKLIST HE RAISED GEAR IN ERROR. HE WILL BE TAKING INSTRUMENT RATING TRAINING TO BETTER FORMALIZE HIS PROCEDURAL PROCESSES.

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.
