## Narrative

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

WHILE ON THE LANDING ROLL-OUT THE PIC WAS PERFORMING THE AFTER-LANDING CHECKLIST AND MISTAKENLY SELECTED THE LANDING GEAR TO THE UP POSITION WHILE MEANING TO RETRACT THE FLAPS. THE NOSE GEAR UNLOCKED ALLOWING THE NOSE TO SLOWLY SETTLE TO THE GROUND. MINOR DAMAGE TO INCLUDE A PROP STRIKE, LOWER COWLING, AND EXHAUST. NO INJURIES.

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.
