Narrative:
Having been cleared for a visual approach, we (captain and I) were on approximately a 5 mi right base for runway 8L at ontario airport, ca. The left engine oil pressure annunciator light illuminated and the left engine oil pressure gauge dropped to 0. At that moment, smoke filled the cabin. At the captain's command, I turned off both bleed airs to eliminate the source of smoke. The captain called for a precautionary engine shutdown and we shutdown and secured the left engine without delay. The captain made a very good landing on runway 8L, exited the runway at taxiway and shutdown the right engine. After visually ensuring that there was no fire on the left wing, the passenger were deplaned through the main cabin door without incident and escorted away from the airplane.

Title: FLC OF LTT COMMUTER ON VISUAL APCH 5 MI R BASE FOR ONT HAD LOW OIL PRESSURE AND QUANTITY LIGHTS, SMOKE IN CABIN. SECURED ENG, CONTINUED FOR LNDG, STOPPED ON TAXIWAY, SHUTDOWN OTHER ENG AND EVACED THE ACFT THROUGH NORMAL PAX DOOR.
Narrative: HAVING BEEN CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH, WE (CAPT AND I) WERE ON APPROX A 5 MI R BASE FOR RWY 8L AT ONTARIO ARPT, CA. THE L ENG OIL PRESSURE ANNUNCIATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE L ENG OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO 0. AT THAT MOMENT, SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN. AT THE CAPT'S COMMAND, I TURNED OFF BOTH BLEED AIRS TO ELIMINATE THE SOURCE OF SMOKE. THE CAPT CALLED FOR A PRECAUTIONARY ENG SHUTDOWN AND WE SHUTDOWN AND SECURED THE L ENG WITHOUT DELAY. THE CAPT MADE A VERY GOOD LNDG ON RWY 8L, EXITED THE RWY AT TAXIWAY AND SHUTDOWN THE R ENG. AFTER VISUALLY ENSURING THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE ON THE L WING, THE PAX WERE DEPLANED THROUGH THE MAIN CABIN DOOR WITHOUT INCIDENT AND ESCORTED AWAY FROM THE AIRPLANE.
