Narrative:
[We] received an oil pressure low annunciator light with decreasing oil pressure indication on pressure gauge. Event occurred on climb out approximately 10 minutes after departure. [We] leveled off at 15;000 declared emergency. Shut down left engine per QRH. [We] returned to the airport for landing. Executed go around on first approach due to being near maximum landing weight and need for excessive aileron input needed to maintain level flight.
