The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was performing touch and go's in his GC-1B Globe at Centennial Airport. After having landed on rmy 17R, during rollout, the pilot mistakenly selected the gear up selector rather than flaps up knob, causing the gear to retract. The aircraft was traveling approx. 40 mph when the gear retracted and the aircraft lowered to the ground.

After receiving an all clear from fire and rescue, the NTSB authorized the clearance of N80775 from rwy 17R. The pilot experienced no injuries during the incident
