Narrative:

On final approach, every instrument indication normal except oil pressure which that landing was a full stop 400 ft before touchdown seized. Left wing tipped enormously. Took over the control as PIC. Made a forced landing. First action -- to bring the aircraft in level attitude after that was accomplished meaning stopping the aircraft from being inverted. I was too late to do any other action other than a forced landing and bring the aircraft to a stop. No second action because of a downdraft that pulled the aircraft to the ground and our low airspeed which indicated 70 KTS, landing on runway 08 with the wind 070/12 meaning we had even a lower ground speed. I believe the engine siezed from the low indication of the oil pressure. For the downdraft, I have nothing to add because it was beyond our training capacity (wind shear).

Title: AN SMA HAD AN ENG FAILURE ON APCH. IT WAS ABLE TO LAND ON THE RWY.

Narrative: ON FINAL APCH, EVERY INST INDICATION NORMAL EXCEPT OIL PRESSURE WHICH THAT LNDG WAS A FULL STOP 400 FT BEFORE TOUCHDOWN SEIZED. L WING TIPPED ENORMOUSLY. TOOK OVER THE CTL AS PIC. MADE A FORCED LNDG. FIRST ACTION -- TO BRING THE ACFT IN LEVEL ATTITUDE AFTER THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED MEANING STOPPING THE ACFT FROM BEING INVERTED. I WAS TOO LATE TO DO ANY OTHER ACTION OTHER THAN A FORCED LNDG AND BRING THE ACFT TO A STOP. NO SECOND ACTION BECAUSE OF A DOWNDRAFT THAT PULLED THE ACFT TO THE GND AND OUR LOW AIRSPD WHICH INDICATED 70 KTS, LNDG ON RWY 08 WITH THE WIND 070/12 MEANING WE HAD EVEN A LOWER GND SPD. I BELIEVE THE ENG SIEZED FROM THE LOW INDICATION OF THE OIL PRESSURE. FOR THE DOWNDRAFT, I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD BECAUSE IT WAS BEYOND OUR TRAINING CAPACITY (WIND SHEAR).
