## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS ENROUTE FROM NEW MEXICO TO THE JEROME, ID AIRPORT (JER). UPON ARRIVING AT THE JEROME AIRPORT A SUCCESSFUL LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED ON RUNWAY 26. DURING THE ROLL OUT THE PILOT MISTAKENLY POSITIONED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE TO THE UP POSITION THINKING HIS HAND WAS ON THE FLAP LEVER. THE LANDING GEAR STARTED THE RETRACT SEQUENCE RESULTING IN THE NOSE GEAR AND RIGHT MAIN RETRACTING ENOUGH TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO ALL LANDING GEAR DOORS, ENGINE COWLING, PROPELLER AND RIGHT WING TIP TANK. THE FAA AND NTSB WAS CONTACTED WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS STILL ON THE RUNWAY. THE NTSB IIC APPROVED THE REMOVAL OF THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE RUNWAY.

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.
