## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT IN COMMAND MISTAKENLY RETRACTED THE LANDING GEAR INSTEAD OF THE FLAPS ON LANDING ROLLOUT.  THE RESULT WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING TIP AND ENGINE AND PROPELLER.  GOOD ATTITUDE AND COUNSELING WAS GIVEN.

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.
