Air Creebec flight CRQ921, a DHC-8-106, was approximately 20 nautical miles south of CYNC, when a low oil pressure indication for the right engine appeared. The crew reduced the power to idle, and shortly thereafter, when the oil pressure dropped below 40 psi, the engine (Pratt & Whitney-Canada, PW121) was shut down. The aircraft landed without incident on runway 10 at CYNC. A post-flight inspection revealed an oil leak on the right side of the right engine.
