## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, THE NO. 2 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE STARTED TO FLUCTUATE WITH A SECONDARY INDICATION. THE ENGINE WAS RETARDED TO FLIGHT IDLE AND THE OIL PRESSURE CONTINUED TO DECREASE TO THE YELLOW ARC. THE ENGINE WAS SECURED AND SHUT DOWN WAS COMPLETED. LANDING WAS MADE AT NEAREST AIRPORT.

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.
