## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A LOCAL TRAINING FLIGHT THE RT OIL TEMP WAS NOTICED TO BE ON THE RISE.  THE OIL COOLER WAS OPENED HOWEVER THE TEMP CONTINUED TO RISE.  A SHORT TIME LATER THE OIL PRESSURE BEGAN TO DROP ACCOMPANIED BY BLACK SMOKE FROM EXHAUST.  ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING AT RED DEER WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE ENGINE APPEARS TO HAVE A MAIN BEARING FAILURE.
