## Narrative

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

AFTER TOUCHING DOWN FOR LANDING, PILOT DECIDED TO EXERCISE A TOUCH AND GO. WHILE CONFIGURING THE AIRCRAFT FOR TAKE OFF, PILOT MISTAKENLY SELCTED GEAR UP INSTEAD OF FLAP UP. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GEAR WAS MISTAKENLY SELECTED UP, THE AIRCRAFT SLID DOWN THE RUNWAY COMING TO A FULL STOP CAUSING ONLY MINOR DAMAGES TO THE PROPELLER, BOTTOM SKIN, OIL COOLER, AND WING TIPS. AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED BY THE NOSE, GEAR EXTENDED AND TOWED TO THE HANGAR.

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.
