## Narrative

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

(-23)WHILE THE PILOT WAS TAXING THE AIRCRAFT TO PARKING, HE RAISED THE GEAR HANDLE INSTEAD OF RETRACTING THE FLAPS. IMMEDIATELY THE PILOT REALIZED WHAT HE'D DONE AND LOWERED THE GEAR.  THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR WAS THE ONLY PART OF THE GEAR THAT RETRACTED.  NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT OCCURRED AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS MOVING SLOWLY.  A 709 RE-EXAM IS NOT NECESSARY, AS THE PILOT CAUGHT HIS ERROER AND A 709 RIDE WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE.

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.
