Narrative:

While descending for a visual approach to the eld airport with the airport in sight, the right low oil pressure light illuminated at approximately 6500 ft in the descent and the cabin began to fill with smoke. As a precautionary measure we shut down and feathered the right engine and secured it using the 'engine failure in flight checklist.' we then depressurized the cabin to clear out the smoke. Before we shut down the engine we leveled the aircraft at 6000 ft, informed ZFW of the situation, and declared an emergency. A normal, uneventful single engine landing was made on runway 4 at eld, and ZFW was informed that we were safely on the ground.

Title: R ENG SHUT DOWN DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND SMOKE IN CABIN.

Narrative: WHILE DSNDING FOR A VISUAL APCH TO THE ELD ARPT WITH THE ARPT IN SIGHT, THE R LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT APPROX 6500 FT IN THE DSCNT AND THE CABIN BEGAN TO FILL WITH SMOKE. AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE WE SHUT DOWN AND FEATHERED THE R ENG AND SECURED IT USING THE 'ENG FAILURE IN FLT CHKLIST.' WE THEN DEPRESSURIZED THE CABIN TO CLR OUT THE SMOKE. BEFORE WE SHUT DOWN THE ENG WE LEVELED THE ACFT AT 6000 FT, INFORMED ZFW OF THE SITUATION, AND DECLARED AN EMER.
