## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CRUISE, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED BELOW GREEN BAND AND THE CREW ELECTED TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN BEFORE THE FLIGHT WAS DIVERTED.  A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING FOLLOWED.  POST EVENT INSPECTION FOUND A VERY LOW OIL LEVEL AND A RE-START ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.  OIL WAS NOTED IN THE EXHAUST PIPE FOLLOWING THE RE-START ATTEMPT.  THE ENGINE WILL BE REMOVED. WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
