## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE AIRCRAFT WAS CLIMBING THROUGH 1900 FEET WHEN THE #2 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE BEGAN A RAPID DECREASE, ACCOMPANIED BY AN EQUALLY RAPID INCREASE IN OIL TEMPERATURE. THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO ITS POINT OF DEPARTURE. THE #2 ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND IS BEING PREPARED FOR RETURN FOR OVERHAUL.
