From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

After landing pilot reached over to retract flaps and accidently grabbed and actuate the landing gear leaver. This cause the nose wheel to retract and the prop to come in contact with the runway, then the right main gear started to retract causing the right wing to come in contact with the runway and for the aircraft to become uncontrollable and skid off runway.
