What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
After landing on runway 26 at Camarillo airport, and wanting to make the first taxiway turn off for better braking, pilot reached for the flap lever to retract the flaps, but instead got the landing gear handle and retracted the landing gear. Pilot stated the weather was VMC, and winds were light, approximately 5-7 knots and very little crosswind. Pilot was counseled about waiting until clear of the runway and stopped prior to changing aircraft configuration.
