## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS ON A LOCAL VFR FLIGHT. UPON LANDING, AIRCRAFT ROLLED OUT AND SLOWED TO TAXI SPEED. JUST PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE ACTIVE RUNWAY, THE PILOT INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED THE LANDING GEAR SWITCH INSTEAD OF THE FLAP SWITCH. THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED AND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO CONTACT THE RUNWAY SURFACE. DAMAGE RESULTED TO THE PROPELLER, LEFT WING LOWER SKIN, AND THE LANDING GEAR DOORS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
