## Discrepancy

ON A FLIGHT FROM FBXS TO ARCTIC VILLAGE, THE PILOT LOST MANIFOLD PRESSURE AND OIL PRESSURE.  THE PILOT THEN SHUT DOWN THE LEFT ENGINE IN-FLIGHT AND LANDED AT ARCTIC VILLAGE.  AFTER LANDING, IT WAS DETERMINED THE OIL LINE FROM THE TURBO WASTEGATE WAS BROKEN BEHIND THE FITTING CAUSING LOSS OF OIL.  THIS RESULTED IN A CORRESPONDING LOSS OF OIL AND MANIFOLD PRESSURE.
