Narrative:
At approximately 3000 ft MSL, with the aircraft configured with: flaps 25, both ignitors were on, gear down, airspeed 170 KTS, autoplt engaged, and with the throttles at idle (I was keeping the airspeed up to 170 KTS while outside the OM), and with the aircraft still approximately 5 mi outside the marker, the crew noticed a decrease in oil pressure of the #1 engine and then the loss of generated power on the engine (with subsequent lights on the mws panel). The crew confirmed that we had lost power on the #1 engine and since we were just outside the OM on the ILS approach, I elected to disengage the autoplt and continue with the approach. The PNF called dca tower and advised them that we had an engine out. The #1 engine was placed in the cut-off position and we landed without further incident. We were met with fire equipment and, as requested by tower, we called the tower to further elaborate and explain the incident. As far as I am concerned, the tower was satisfied with our explanation and handling of the incident.

Title: CORPORATE JET EXPERIENCES FLAMEOUT ON FINAL DURING IAP ILS APCH. INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN.
Narrative: AT APPROX 3000 FT MSL, WITH THE ACFT CONFIGURED WITH: FLAPS 25, BOTH IGNITORS WERE ON, GEAR DOWN, AIRSPD 170 KTS, AUTOPLT ENGAGED, AND WITH THE THROTTLES AT IDLE (I WAS KEEPING THE AIRSPD UP TO 170 KTS WHILE OUTSIDE THE OM), AND WITH THE ACFT STILL APPROX 5 MI OUTSIDE THE MARKER, THE CREW NOTICED A DECREASE IN OIL PRESSURE OF THE #1 ENG AND THEN THE LOSS OF GENERATED PWR ON THE ENG (WITH SUBSEQUENT LIGHTS ON THE MWS PANEL). THE CREW CONFIRMED THAT WE HAD LOST PWR ON THE #1 ENG AND SINCE WE WERE JUST OUTSIDE THE OM ON THE ILS APCH, I ELECTED TO DISENGAGE THE AUTOPLT AND CONTINUE WITH THE APCH. THE PNF CALLED DCA TWR AND ADVISED THEM THAT WE HAD AN ENG OUT. THE #1 ENG WAS PLACED IN THE CUT-OFF POS AND WE LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. WE WERE MET WITH FIRE EQUIP AND, AS REQUESTED BY TWR, WE CALLED THE TWR TO FURTHER ELABORATE AND EXPLAIN THE INCIDENT. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE TWR WAS SATISFIED WITH OUR EXPLANATION AND HANDLING OF THE INCIDENT.
