Factual narrative

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. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
