## Narrative

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

(-23) WITNESSES CONFIRM THAT AFTER A NORMAL LANDING, AS THE AIRCRAFT TURNED TO EXIT THE ACTIVE RUNWAY, THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PILOT INADVERTENTLY RAISED THE GEAR DURING ROLL OUT, BUT DID NOT REMEMBER DOING IT. THE LANDING GEAR SWITCH WAS OBSERVED IN THE UP POSITION.
