Narrative:
Right engine fail warning and N1 RPM rollback on descent through 10;000 feet. Crew acknowledged; PF (sic) continued to fly. Crew accomplished emergency checklist E-1(2) fail. No auto-relight in region 1 (best chance of inflight start). N2 and oil pressure decreased to zero with N1 windmilling. Crew discussed briefly and elected not to attempt restart due to time required and available. The engine had failed for an unknown reason and system would not auto-restart--something in the #2 powerplant system appeared to have failed. Also; aircraft was light (~8800 lbs) and in a good position for a normal approach path and landing. Therefore rather than complicating the situation; crew judged as the best course of action continuing the approach single-engine. PF executed a smooth approach and landing; and exited as instructed. Fire services inspected the aircraft and reported no fires or leaks. We shut down the #1 engine and were towed in to the FBO.
