UPDATE: TSB Report #A22A0001: C-GORN, a Beech 1900D aircraft operated by Propair Inc., was conducting flight PRO4005 from Chibougamau-Chapais, QC (CYMT) to Wabush, NL (CYWK). While in cruise flight, the crew received a master warning light, accompanied by a low right engine oil pressure indication. The crew conducted the memory items, and determined that the right engine oil pressure was indicating 60 psi. The flight was at the start of descent, and the crew reduced power. The right engine oil pressure continued to decrease and, when at 50 psi, the crew carried out the emergency checklist items, shut down the right engine, and declared PAN PAN with CYWK air traffic services. The crew utilized the single-engine landing checklist, and briefed the single-engine go-around checklist before landing at CYWK without further incident. The crew shut down on the runway and coordinated with airport services for transportation of passengers and the towing of the aircraft. Maintenance personnel determined the loss of number 2 engine oil pressure was due to engine oil leakage caused by a faulted engine oil cooler.
