WEATHER NEAR THE PHOENIX AREA REQUIRED A CRUISING ALTITUDE OF 20,000 OR GREATER ON CLIMB OUT, SELECTED A HIGHER CABIN ALTITUDE OF 7000 TO COMPENSATE FOR THE HIGH CRUISE ALTITUDE. WHILE CLIMBING OUT OF 16000 I FELT A HUGE SPIKE IN CABIN PRESSURE CAUSING EARS TO POP AND NOTICED THE MASTER CATION AND HIGH CABIN ALT ANNUNCIATION. LOOKED DOWN AT THE PRESSURIZATION CONTROLLER AND SAW THE CABIN ALTITUDE CLIMBING THROUGH 11000. IMMEDIATELY STARTED AN EMERGENCY DESCENT TO GET BELOW 12000. AFTER LEVELING OFF, NOTICED THE CABIN ALTITUDE GOT AS HIGH AS 12000. ONCE WAS DOWN AT 10000FT CABIN ALTITUDE DESCENDED DOWN TO 6000. REPLACED CABIN PRESSURIZATION CONTOLLER. FUNCTIONAL CHECK SATISFACTORY.
AFTER LANDING COULD SMELL SOMETHING THAT WAS DESCRIBED AS BURNING CHARCOAL. UPON FURTHER DISCOVERY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR, LOCATED BELOW THE RUDDER PEDALS ON THE LT SIDE, HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE & WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW PART. THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD, NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH SYS.
WHILE ON A MX TEST FLIGHT AND ON FINAL APPROACH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RT MLG DOWN INDICATION LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. THE PILOT, AT THAT TIME MADE THE ATTEMPT TO DEPLOY USING EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WITH NO SUCCESS. THE FLY OVER AND GROUND VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWED THE GEAR TO BE IN THE DEPLOYED POSITION, THE LANDING WAS CONTINUED AND WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM.
DURING APPROACH, PILOT EXTENDED LANDING GEAR AND NOTICED NO GREEN LIGHT ON THE RT MAIN GEAR. DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND MADE AN ATTEMPT TO DEPLOY USING EMERGENCY EXTENSION PROCEDURE. GREEN EXTENDED AND LOCKED LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BUT THE EMERGENCY HANDLE DID FEEL SOLID AND HELD PRESSURE. LANDED WITH NO PROBLEMS AND ACFT WAS INSPECTED BY MX TO INSURE GEAR WAS IN LOCKED POSITION. MX HAS NOT DISCOVERED REASON FOR GEAR LIGHT FAILURE AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF TROUBLESHOOTING.
PILOT NOTICED OIL PRESSURE & TORQUE INDICATION DROP BELOW SAFE PARAMETERS ON RIGHT ENGINE IN CRUISE FLIGHT, THE ENGINE WAS THEN STOWED. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND SAFELY LANDED THE AIRCRAFT.
