## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS DEMONSTRATING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS AT DOTHAN AIRPORT, DOTHAN, ALABAMA (DHN) FOR A 141 STANDARDIZATION FLIGHT. WHILE ON THE TAKE OFF ROLL, THE PILOT RAISED THE LANDING GEAR BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT WAS AIRBORNE. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED GETTING THE PROPS, ENGINES, AND SKIN DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE WHERE THE NOSE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED.

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.
