The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The passenger a former pilot noticed that he had selected up on the wrong selector and initated a go-around to prevent the aircraft from doing a gear up. After the go-around a low pass took place to have the tower look at the gear, it appeared normal. Upon touch down the right MLG collapsed forcing the aircraft to veer off the runway. The aircrafts other gear (nose and lmlg) remained down and locked. The aircraft sustained damage to the right flap and step assembly, with minor scrapes of the right aileron and wingtip.
