N738JZ
CESSNA TR182
On June 23, 2022, about 1925 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna TR182, N738JZ, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Santa Barbara, California. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to the pilot, he attempted to extend the landing gear while on approach to the airport. The green landing gear light confirming that the landing gear were down and locked did not illuminate, and he did not hear the familiar sound of the landing gear movement. During the sequence, the landing gear hydraulic pump circuit breaker opened, and he reset the breaker, which opened a second time. The pilot subsequently attempted to manually extend the landing gear, but the hand pump did not develop pressure. The pilot communicated with ATC and confirmed the landing gear was not down and locked. While the pilot attempted to troubleshoot the situation, he observed a low voltage warning light and declared an emergency. The pilot subsequently landed gear up on runway 25. The left horizontal stabilizer and elevator sustained substantial damage.
