Narrative:

Between tul and mkc, the CSD oil pressure low light came on. We verified and did the checklist which said to disconnect CSD. After trying to disconnect CSD, without any luck, the next step was to shut the engine down for precaution. We checked WX in tul and mkc and both WX reports were good. We shut engine down and started a descent to do a straight-in approach to mkc on runway 1. The approach and landing were normal.

Narrative: BTWN TUL AND MKC, THE CSD OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT CAME ON. WE VERIFIED AND DID THE CHKLIST WHICH SAID TO DISCONNECT CSD. AFTER TRYING TO DISCONNECT CSD, WITHOUT ANY LUCK, THE NEXT STEP WAS TO SHUT THE ENG DOWN FOR PRECAUTION. WE CHKED WX IN TUL AND MKC AND BOTH WX RPTS WERE GOOD. WE SHUT ENG DOWN AND STARTED A DSCNT TO DO A STRAIGHT-IN APCH TO MKC ON RWY 1. THE APCH AND LNDG WERE NORMAL.
