Narrative:

While in a descent from cruise, I noticed a loss of oil pressure in the left engine. The loss of oil pressure was accompanied with a rise in oil temperature and a loss of engine torque. When the oil pressure reached the minimum, I shut down and secured the engine according to the procedures in the checklist. The shutdown was for precautionary reasons. I decided at that time not to inform ATC because the safety of the flight had not been compromised. I continued toward my point of intended landing which was one of the nearest airports in my vicinity. I made a normal approach and landing. Approximately 3-5 seconds after touchdown the right engine flamed out. I stopped on the remaining runway using normal braking. Attempts to restart the right engine failed and I had to be towed off the runway. The cause of the right engine flameout (failure) has not been determined. No notification of either malfunction was ever given to ATC. There was no damage done to the aircraft and there were no injuries.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN.

Narrative: WHILE IN A DSCNT FROM CRUISE, I NOTICED A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE IN THE L ENG. THE LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A RISE IN OIL TEMP AND A LOSS OF ENG TORQUE. WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE REACHED THE MINIMUM, I SHUT DOWN AND SECURED THE ENG ACCORDING TO THE PROCS IN THE CHKLIST. THE SHUTDOWN WAS FOR PRECAUTIONARY REASONS. I DECIDED AT THAT TIME NOT TO INFORM ATC BECAUSE THE SAFETY OF THE FLT HAD NOT BEEN COMPROMISED. I CONTINUED TOWARD MY POINT OF INTENDED LNDG WHICH WAS ONE OF THE NEAREST ARPTS IN MY VICINITY. I MADE A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG. APPROX 3-5 SECONDS AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE R ENG FLAMED OUT. I STOPPED ON THE REMAINING RWY USING NORMAL BRAKING. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE R ENG FAILED AND I HAD TO BE TOWED OFF THE RWY. THE CAUSE OF THE R ENG FLAMEOUT (FAILURE) HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. NO NOTIFICATION OF EITHER MALFUNCTION WAS EVER GIVEN TO ATC. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE DONE TO THE ACFT AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
