Analysis
Reportedly, during the landing roll, the acft settled while the gear was in transit. At that time, the flaps were in the down position & were damaged. According to the plt, the gear lights were green. Later, he said that something may have gone wrong with the nose gear, and when he initiated a go-around procedure, he may have retracted the gear instead of the flaps. A gear retraction test was performed & the gear functioned properly.
