That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N5YB's record changes.
The pilot of the retractable landing gear-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing roll, he inadvertently moved the landing gear position lever to the "up" position. He immediately moved the lever back to the "down" position, but observed the left wing settle slightly, so he added power and performed a go around.
Once airborne, he asked the tower controllers to observe the landing gear and they confirmed that the left main landing gear was "canted inward" and did not appear to be in a down and locked position.
During the second landing he placed the gear handle in the down position and observed the gear indicators as "down and locked." During the landing roll, the left wing settled onto the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left aileron.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
