NTSB Identification: ERA14CA307 
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Friday, June 13, 2014 in Tupelo, MS
Probable Cause Approval Date: 10/27/2014
Aircraft: BEECH 58, registration: N93HS

NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report.

According to the pilot, during the landing roll, he inadvertently raised the landing gear handle instead of the flap handle. The landing gear retracted, and the airplane impacted the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation prior to the accident.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's inadvertent retraction of the landing gear on the runway, which resulted in a landing gear collapse.
