## Narrative

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

(-23) LEFT MAIN WHEEL, ON FLOAT PLANE, WOULD NOT EXTEND THREE OTHER WHEELS DID EXTEND. PILOT LANDED ON GRASS AREA WITHIN AIRPORT. NO DAMAGE WAS REPORTED BY PILOT OR AIRPORT AUTHORITY. ON JULY 2, 2002, AN INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT RIGHT LANDING GEAR REVEALED THAT THE AXLE SHOCK STRUT ATTACHED TO THE GEAR ACTUATOR WAS BINDING AGAINST THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TRACK. EVIDENCE OF DEBRIS CONSISTING OF DIRT AND SAND MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SHOCK STRUT TO BIND AGAINST THE MAIN GEAR TRACK. ALSO, A PRESSURE SWITCH DISCONNECTS THE LANDING GEAR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ONCE THE PRESSURE REACHES 250 PSI. THE HUSKY A-1B MAINTENANCE MANUAL REQUIRES A 25 HOUR LUBRICANT INSPECTION WHICH WAS COMPLIED WITH.

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.
