## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED A LOW FUEL PRESSURE LIGHT FOLLOWED BY AN AUTOFEATHER ON LEFT ENGINE.  PILOT SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENCE.  UPON INVESTIGATION, NOTED THE OIL LEVEL LOW, THERE WAS OIL IN THE EXHAUST CASE, AND METAL PARTICLES AND FLAKES PRESENT IN THE OIL FILTER.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED SCAVENGE PUMP SHAFT HAD SHEARED.  ENGINE REMOVED FOR METAL IN OIL.
