## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS ON A CFR 135 FLIGHT FROM CHANDLER AZ TO SIERRA VISTA, AZ IN A BE-58, N6649D CARRYING ONE PASSENGER. WHILE ON LANDING ROLL OUT AT DESTINATION AIRPORT PILOT INADVERTENTLY SELECTED THE LANDING GEAR ("UP?) HANDLE RATHER THAN THE FLAPS (?UP?) HANDLE. THE NOSE WHEEL FOLLOWED BY THE MAINS RETRACTED CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO COME TO A SLIDING STOP ON THE RUNWAY. PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED.

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.
