THE PLT STATED THAT DURING THE LANDING, THE INITIAL TOUCHDOWN ON THE MAIN GEAR WAS NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN THE NOSE GEAR CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE RWY, THERE WAS A BRIEF HESITATION, THEN THE NOSE SETTLED & THE PROPELLERS STRUCK THE RWY. THE PLT APPLIED BACK PRESSURE ON THE ELEVATOR CONTROL TO HOLD THE NOSE UP, BUT THE MAIN GEAR ALSO RETRACTED. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT ALL OF THE GEAR HAD RETRACTED TO THE UP & LOCKED POSITION, BUT THE FLAPS WERE STILL EXTENDED. NO PRE-ACCIDENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE WAS FOUND IN THE LANDING GEAR EXTENTION/RETRACTION SYS.
