## Narrative

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

FLIGHT DEPARTED KRAL ON 04/28/2023 @1713 TO KHII.  14 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT DURING LEVEL CRUISE @7500FT, ENGINE OIL PRESSURE DECREASED TO 19 PSI.  PIC TURNED 180 DEGREES AND CONTACTED ATC REQUESTING A DIRECT ROUTE BACK TO KRAL.  THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTINUED TO DECREASE DURING THE RETURN TO KRAL WITH ENGINE FAILURE JUST NORTH OF MARCH AIRFORCE BASE ON RETURN TO KRAL.  PIC DECLEARED AN EMERGENCY AND CONTINUED TO AIR NAVIGATE WITHOUT POWER SUCCESSFULLY LANDING AT KRAL.

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.
