## Narrative

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

THE PILOT-FLYING LANDED AT (KIOW) ON RUNWAY 30 AND WAS STILL ROLLING WHEN HE MISTAKENLY CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE TO THE UP POSITION CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR TO RETRACT.  THE PROPELLER AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE, INCLUDING ANTENNAS, WERE DAMAGED.

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.
