## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JULY 29, 2002 AT APPROX 1630 HRS PDT MARSHALL L. COLLINS A CFI AND MICHAEL A. WELCH A STUDENT WITH A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE DEPARTED THUN FIELD (1S0) PUYALLUP WASHINGTON ON A LOCAL FLIGHT FOR THE PURPOSE OF FLIGHT INSTRUCTION IN A CESSNA R182, N7592Y. THE CREW WHILE PERFORMING SOME CHECKS REQUESTED BY MAINTENANCE NOTICED SOME WARNING AND INDICATION PROBLEMS. THE PILOTS DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND NORMALLY OR WITH THE MANUAL HYD PUMP. THE COCKPIT LANDING GEAR POSITION INDICATIONS SHOWED ALL THREE LANDING GEAR IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED GEAR-UP ON THE GRASS BETWEEN RUNWAY 34 AND THE TAXI-WAY AT APPROXIMATELY 1908 PM PDT. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
