## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON APRIL 22, 1996, MC DONNEL DOUGLAS DC-9-15, N8175, OPERATING AS TWA FLIGHT 677, EXPERIENCED FLUCTUATING OIL QUANTITY INDICATION ON THE #2 ENGINE ON DESCENT TO THE LINCOLN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, LINCOLN, NE. WHILE DESCENDING THROUGH 10,000 FEET, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTED A REDUCTION OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE AND INITIATED #2 ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THE FLIGHT CREW NOTIFIED THE LINCOLN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AT 2204 CDT. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED A FAILURE OF THE #2 ENGINE SCAVENGE PUMP (P/N 2254008, S/N 651193), #2 ENGINE SEAL TUBE (P/N 25-4138), AND THE #2 ENGINE SEAL TUBE GEARLOCK SEAL (P/N 25-2614). THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.

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.
