## Discrepancy

WHILE DESCENDING FOR THE APPROACH, THE LEFT ENGINE LOST OIL PRESSURE AND A PRECAUTIONARY SHUT DOWN WAS ACCOMPLISHED.  THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED BY A DROP IN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND THE ILLUMINATION OF THE 'OIL LOW' ANNUNCIATOR.  APPARENT CAUSE:  LOSS OF OIL OUT THE BACK OF THE ENGINE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED SUCCESSFULLY AND WITHOUT INCIDENT.
