Analysis
The plt was returning to Kansas city, MO with no cargo on board after delivering cancelled checks to tulsa, OK. While en route, the plt noticed a slight drop in oil pressure. About 75 mi from his destination, he noticed that the oil gage indicated below the green arc & he diverted to the johnson county arpt at Olathe,KS. The plt stated that during the apch to land, the acft was high & fast, so he extended the gear & flaps. He indicated the eng quit as the acft was over the apch end of the rwy. Subsequently, the acft stalled & landed hard & the nose gear collapsed. An investigation revealed there was only 4 qts of oil remaining in the 12 qt sys. There was no evidence of an oil leak. During an operational check, the eng ran normally & the oil pressure indications were in the normal range. The plt stated that during the landing, he was a little apprehensive about landing on the snow & ice covered rwy in this situation.
