Narrative:

On climb out, just before leveloff at 9000 ft, we received a master warning, continuous repeating chime, engine #1 oil on the crew alert panel, local alert, and engine #1 oil pressure indicated '0.' first officer pulled out checklist for low oil pressure. The #1 torque started acting erratic, so we elected to shut the engine down and proceeded with the checklist. We declared an emergency and returned for landing. Once safely on the ground, we terminated the emergency and had 1 truck follow us back to the gate where we deplaned aircraft. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter flies the ATR-42 for a new inter-island air carrier from hnl. There was an oil pump failure that caused the engine to seize. The propeller was feathered before the engine seized. There were no further problems.

Title: INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN.

Narrative: ON CLBOUT, JUST BEFORE LEVELOFF AT 9000 FT, WE RECEIVED A MASTER WARNING, CONTINUOUS REPEATING CHIME, ENG #1 OIL ON THE CREW ALERT PANEL, LCL ALERT, AND ENG #1 OIL PRESSURE INDICATED '0.' FO PULLED OUT CHKLIST FOR LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE #1 TORQUE STARTED ACTING ERRATIC, SO WE ELECTED TO SHUT THE ENG DOWN AND PROCEEDED WITH THE CHKLIST. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED FOR LNDG. ONCE SAFELY ON THE GND, WE TERMINATED THE EMER AND HAD 1 TRUCK FOLLOW US BACK TO THE GATE WHERE WE DEPLANED ACFT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR FLIES THE ATR-42 FOR A NEW INTER-ISLAND ACR FROM HNL. THERE WAS AN OIL PUMP FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE ENG TO SEIZE. THE PROP WAS FEATHERED BEFORE THE ENG SEIZED. THERE WERE NO FURTHER PROBS.
