Narrative:
After touchdown on our second touch-and-go, my student retracted the landing gear while we were still on the runway. He mistakenly put the gear up instead of the flaps. I reached over and tried to put the gear back down, but it was too late and the nose gear collapsed. I promptly pulled the mixtures back and shut the engines down. The aircraft skidded on the nose and came to a stop on the runway. I then secured the aircraft and we got out as crash fire rescue equipment arrived. Supplemental information from acn 417274: while performing a touch-and-go, the gear switch was inadvertently actuated resulting in the raising of the nose gear. This resulted in propeller strikes to both propellers and damage to the nose cone.

Title: BE76 INSTRUCTOR AND TRAINEE. STUDENT ACTUATED GEAR SWITCH RATHER THAN THE FLAPS SWITCH, WHEN DOING TOUCH-AND-GO LNDGS. THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTED ON THE GND AS A RESULT.
Narrative: AFTER TOUCHDOWN ON OUR SECOND TOUCH-AND-GO, MY STUDENT RETRACTED THE LNDG GEAR WHILE WE WERE STILL ON THE RWY. HE MISTAKENLY PUT THE GEAR UP INSTEAD OF THE FLAPS. I REACHED OVER AND TRIED TO PUT THE GEAR BACK DOWN, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. I PROMPTLY PULLED THE MIXTURES BACK AND SHUT THE ENGS DOWN. THE ACFT SKIDDED ON THE NOSE AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE RWY. I THEN SECURED THE ACFT AND WE GOT OUT AS CFR ARRIVED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 417274: WHILE PERFORMING A TOUCH-AND-GO, THE GEAR SWITCH WAS INADVERTENTLY ACTUATED RESULTING IN THE RAISING OF THE NOSE GEAR. THIS RESULTED IN PROP STRIKES TO BOTH PROPS AND DAMAGE TO THE NOSE CONE.
