## Narrative

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

WHILE PERFORMING DOWNWIND BEFORE LANDING CHECKS, PILOT PUT GEAR DOWN AND CONFIRMED 3 GREEN. WHEN THE PILOT DECIDED TO ADD MORE FLAPS, HE THINKS HE MUST HAVE ACCIDENTLY PULLED UP ON THE GEAR HANDLE VERSUS THE FLAP HANDLE. AIRCRAFT LANDED GEAR UP WITH VERY MINOR DAMAGE. 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.
