## Narrative

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

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 EDT A PIPER PA-31-350 WHILE LANDING ON RUNWAY 7 AT BEAUFORT COUNTY (ARW) AIRPORT SOUTH CAROLINA THE RIGHT MAIN AND NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PILOT IN COMMAND ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SAID IN HIS STATEMENT, ?I BELIEVE I INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED THE GEAR INSTEAD OF THE FLAPS.?

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.
