LNDG GEAR WAS RETRACTED INSTEAD OF FLAPS AFTER LNDG.

Narrative

DUE TO A HEAVY WORK SCHEDULE AND AN EXTENDED TRIP OUT OF THE COUNTRY; I HAD BEEN UNABLE TO REMAIN CURRENT IN MY AIRPLANE. BEFORE I LEFT THE COUNTRY IN MARCH I FLEW 2 HRS JUST TO PRACTICE. ON SUN/MAR/88 I WENT TO THE ARPT TO PRACTICE. WX WAS NO FACTOR; CLEAR DAY WITH A SLIGHT XWIND. I DID ONE LNDG TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TAXI BACK. ON THE SECOND LNDG I INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED THE LNDG GEAR INSTEAD OF THE FLAPS IN ATTEMPTING TO DO A TOUCH AND GO. I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED WHAT I HAD DONE AND TURNED OFF MASTER; MAGS AND FUEL. THE GEAR RETRACTED; NOSE GEAR FIRST. THE ACFT SLID DOWN THE RWY AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP IN THE GRASS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY. I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FIRE SINCE I HAD FULL FUEL; SO BEFORE MY PLANE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP I WAS OUT OF THE DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED FOR 2 REASONS: NOT ENOUGH CURRENT TIME IN ACFT AND PLACEMENT OF GEAR AND FLAP LEVERS IN 1978 SMA. REVERSED FROM OTHER SMA'S. PREVENTION: IMPORTANCE OF STAYING CURRENT. UNIVERSAL PLACEMENT OF CONTROLS IN ALL ACFT.
