## Narrative

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

THE NON RATED PASSENGER INADVERTENTLY MOVED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO THE UP POSITION CAUSING THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TO COLLAPSE WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE GROUND.

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.
