## Narrative

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

DURING LANDING ROLLOUT ON RUNWAY 19, THE MAIN LANDING GEAR RETRACTED AS AIRCRAFT WEIGHT TRANSITIONED TO THE MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE PILOT STATED HE HEARD A "POP" DURING ROLLOUT WHICH WAS LIKELY THE LOCK PIN CONTROL KNOB SPRINGING BACK TO THE RETRACT POSITION.

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.
