## Narrative

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

DURING A PRACTICAL TEST FOR A MULTIENGINE RATING, THE DESIGNATED PILOT EXAMINER (DPE) INSTRUCTED THE APPLICANT, WHO WAS THE PILOT IN COMMAND, TO EXECUTE A SHORT FIELD LANDING DURING A PRACTICAL TEST.

AFTER THE APPLICANT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE LANDING EVENT, THE DPE INSTRUCTED THE APPLICANT TO GO AROUND.  THE DPE ALSO TOLD THE APPLICANT THAT HE (THE DPE) WOULD RETRACT THE FLAPS.  HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF RETRACTING THE FLAPS, THE DPE INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED THE LANDING GEAR, RESULTING IN THE AIRCRAFT SETTLING ON THE RUNWAY IN A GEAR UP CONFIGURATION.

SINCE THE DPE WAS NOT A REQUIRED PILOT CREWMEMBER AND SINCE THE PILOT IN COMMAND, OR THE APPLICANT, DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE INCIDENT, THE IIC SELECTED "NOT APPLICABLE" FOR THE PILOT INFORMATION.

THE DPE IS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.  HE POSSESSES ATP AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATES.

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.
