## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON JANUARY 15, 1994, AT 12:30 PM, A CESSNA 340, REGISTERED TO MR. PAUL MALTYSZYK, REPORTED TO ROCHESTER APPROACH CONTROL THAT HE WAS LOSING OIL PRESSURE IN THE LEFT ENGINE AND NEEDED TO DIVERT AND LAND AT ROCHESTER. ON SHORT FINAL THE PILOT SECURED THE LEFT ENGINE AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE OIL WAS BLOWING OUT OF THE OIL COOLER. THE RETURN LINES TO THE OIL COOLER WERE FROZEN, CAUSING THE OIL TO VENT OVERBOARD. WINDCHILL TEMPERATURES WERE IN EXCESS OF -25F. THE ENGINE WAS THAWED OUT, THEN CHECKED AND RELEASED. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
