## Narrative

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

(-23) CFI WAS CONDUCTING TOUCH AND GOES WITH A STUDENT WHO HELD A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE AND WAS WORKING ON HIS COMMERCIAL RATING. THIS WAS THE STUDENT PILOT'S FIRST FLIGHT IN THE 172RG AND THE CFI HAD 25 HOURS IN THIS TYPE. UPON LANDING ON RUNWAY, THE STUDENT PILOT WENT TO CLEAN THE AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION UP FOR TAKEOFF AND INSTEAD OF RAISING THE FLAPS GRABBED THE GEAR HANDLE AND PULLED IT TO THE UP POSITION. AT THAT POINT, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE PROP STRUCK THE RUNWAY.

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.
