## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS LANDING RUNWAY 26R AT THE BRACKET AIRPORT, POMONA, CALIFORNIA, AT APPROXIMATELY 4 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON OF NOVEMBER 16, 2004. HE HAD FLOWN LOCAL FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND HAD LANDED AND TAXIED FOR ABOUT 1000 FEET. HE PROCEEDED TO DO COCKPIT CLEAN-UP BY RAISING THE FLAPS BUT INADVERTENTLY RAISED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WHICH RETRACTED THE LANDING GEAR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT, WHICH INCLUDED THE GEAR DOORS, FLAPS AND PROPELLER.

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.
