Narrative:
At approximately 20500 ft the #1 low oil pressure light illuminated, checked oil pressure gauge, approximately 20 psi, oil quantity was zero and oil temperature was normal (after closing #1 throttle, the oil temperature did go into the yellow band). We accomplished the appropriate checklists, informing ZTL of the situation and stopped the climb at 21000 ft and requested to return to clt. ATC cleared us direct to clt and a lower altitude. Switched to cit approach control. Gave them the situation and asked for the emergency equipment to be standing by. Made an uneventful single engine approach and landing.

Title: ON CLB LOW ENG OIL PRESSURE AND QUANTITY-SHUT ENG DOWN DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO LAND AT DEP ARPT.
Narrative: AT APPROX 20500 FT THE #1 LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CHKED OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, APPROX 20 PSI, OIL QUANTITY WAS ZERO AND OIL TEMP WAS NORMAL (AFTER CLOSING #1 THROTTLE, THE OIL TEMP DID GO INTO THE YELLOW BAND). WE ACCOMPLISHED THE APPROPRIATE CHKLISTS, INFORMING ZTL OF THE SIT AND STOPPED THE CLB AT 21000 FT AND REQUESTED TO RETURN TO CLT. ATC CLRED US DIRECT TO CLT AND A LOWER ALT. SWITCHED TO CIT APCH CTL. GAVE THEM THE SIT AND ASKED FOR THE EMER EQUIP TO BE STANDING BY. MADE AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENG APCH AND LNDG.
