## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED CREST AIRPARK (S36) AND WAS ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN TO EUGENE, OREGON, (EUG).  DURING CRUISE AT ALT. 8000 FT., ABOUT 30 MILES SOUTH OF OLYMPIA, WA, THE RIGHT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE BEGAN TO DECREASE CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO GO TO LOW PITCH.  AT ALT. 5000 FT  THE PROPELLER WAS MANUALLY FEATHERED AND THEN SEA-ATC DIRECTED THE PILOT TO THE SCAPPOOSE AIRPORT, SCAPPOOSE, OREGON.  THE AIRCRAFT UNEVENTFULLY LANDED.  THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR SPRING, LYCOMING PN 68668, WAS BROKEN.  THE SPRING WAS REPLACED AND THEN THE ENGINE OPERATED NORMALLY.  THE MECHANIC SUBMITTED AN M OR D, FAA FORM 8010-4, DATED 1/11/00, STATING AS SUCH.  DISCUSSION WITH THE AIRCRAFT'S MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS DID NOT SHOW ANY RECENT MAINTENANCE TO THE OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY.

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.
