Narrative:

I had just completed landing and was applying brakes to turn off the runway. As I reached to retract flaps, my hand went to the gear retraction lever instead. Before I could react, there was a sinking feeling as the plane, and my stomach settled onto the runway. There were no injuries, I was alone in the plane, and no property damage, other than my propeller. I cannot fault the plane. It was my own lapse. I guess I was daydreaming about how nice a day it was to fly.

Title: M20 PLT UNINTENTIONALLY RETRACTS LNDG GEAR ON LNDG ROLLOUT.

Narrative: I HAD JUST COMPLETED LNDG AND WAS APPLYING BRAKES TO TURN OFF THE RWY. AS I REACHED TO RETRACT FLAPS, MY HAND WENT TO THE GEAR RETRACTION LEVER INSTEAD. BEFORE I COULD REACT, THERE WAS A SINKING FEELING AS THE PLANE, AND MY STOMACH SETTLED ONTO THE RWY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, I WAS ALONE IN THE PLANE, AND NO PROPERTY DAMAGE, OTHER THAN MY PROP. I CANNOT FAULT THE PLANE. IT WAS MY OWN LAPSE. I GUESS I WAS DAYDREAMING ABOUT HOW NICE A DAY IT WAS TO FLY.
