PART 121 MDT LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE; SHUTS DOWN ENG; DECLARES EMER; LANDS ANC.

Narrative

ON A FLT FROM CORDOVA TO ANCHORAGE; CLBING VFR THROUGH 11000 FT (APPROX) WE NOTICED A WARNING LIGHT FLICKER. AFTER 3 FLICKERS; ABEAM VALDEZ; WE POSITIVELY IDENTED THE WARNING LIGHT AS THE #2 ENG OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS READING BTWN 40-55 PSI (THE CAUTION RANGE) WITH A BOUNCING NEEDLE; OIL TEMP NORMAL AND CONSISTENT WITH #1 ENG; ALL OTHER ENG INSTS WERE READING NORMAL. FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ACFT AND THE OIL/TEMP GAUGE (GAUGE FAILURE SEVERAL WKS PRIOR); WE DECIDED THAT IT COULD BE ANOTHER GAUGE PROB. WE ASKED FLT ATTENDANT #1 TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE IF SHE COULD SEE ANY OIL. SHE DID NOT. WE REFERRED TO THE CHKLIST FOR LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE CAPT HAD ME GET A CLRNC WHILE HE TALKED TO THE FLT ATTENDANT. WE LEVELED OUT AT 15000 FT AND WERE CLRED TO ANCHORAGE VIA THE ELLAM 2 ARR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT POINT THE OIL PRESSURE WENT TO ZERO; SO WE DID AN EMER SHUTDOWN. THE CAPT DECLARED AN EMER; INFORMED THE FLT ATTENDANT AND PAX; AND ALSO TALKED TO COMPANY. UNFORTUNATELY; THE #2 COM WAS NOT WORKING; SO WE WERE SHUFFLING BTWN CTR AND COMPANY ON COM #1. THE REST OF THE FLT WENT AS NORMAL; COMPLETING BOTH THE DSCNT AND APCH AND FINAL CHKLIST; FOLLOWED BY A BEAUTIFUL LNDG.
