Narrative:

After takeoff, during our noise abatement power reduction, the oil temperature on #2 engine rose into the yellow zone. At that time the decision was made to return to atl. During descent, the oil temperature exceeded the maximum. The engine was shutdown and an emergency was declared with atl approach. Atl approach control was instrumental in providing vectors and traffic priority. An uneventful single engine approach and landing was accomplished.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: HIGH OIL TEMP REQUIRED AN INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN.

Narrative: AFTER TKOF, DURING OUR NOISE ABATEMENT PWR REDUCTION, THE OIL TEMP ON #2 ENG ROSE INTO THE YELLOW ZONE. AT THAT TIME THE DECISION WAS MADE TO RETURN TO ATL. DURING DSCNT, THE OIL TEMP EXCEEDED THE MAX. THE ENG WAS SHUTDOWN AND AN EMER WAS DECLARED WITH ATL APCH. ATL APCH CTL WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PROVIDING VECTORS AND TFC PRIORITY. AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENG APCH AND LNDG WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
