From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) On landing roll the pilot intended to raise the flaps, but inadvertently positioned main landing gear handle to the up position. The pilot realized what he had done and tried to put the landing gear handle back into the down position, but only the right main gear stayed down and locked. The nose gear collapsed followed by the collapse of the left main gear.
