From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

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

On landing roll out the PIC inadvertently selected gear up to which the nose gear retracted into the wheel well while the aircraft was moving. The aircraft skidded to a full stop. The PIC performed shutdown procedures and secured the aircraft before exiting. The aircraft sustained damage to the left and right propellers, nose cone, and both nose gear doors.
