What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: the aircraft experienced a loss of oil pressure due to the mechanic failing to tighten the oil cooler line. Subsequently, the pilot was unable to successfully lower the landing gear. The pilot decided to go around and to attempt to get the landing gear to extend into position. However, the engine then seized and the pilot proceeded directly to the active runway to land before using up all remaining altitude. The airplane landed with the nose gear and left main gear extended and the right main landing gear not extended. The following day the principal maintenance inspector traveled to Logan, Utah to inspect the airplane. His findings confirmed the following: the oil cooler line was loose, the landing gear was not rigged correctly and the aircraft damage was minor from the incident.
