Narrative:

In sum: an small transport pilot was flying alone at dawn in a twin air carrier freighter operation carrying company work. His left engine oil pressure and RPM decreased and the oil temperature rose. The reporter shut down the left engine. He asked ZAU to point out the nearest airport, lone rock, wi, 15 mi to the north. The aircraft was very near maximum gross takeoff weight and was unable to maintain altitude. The pilot at no time declared an emergency, even though he was in the WX, and he was unable to maintain altitude. He was cleared to shoot a VOR-a approach to lnr, circle to land runway 27. This is the only instrument approach available at lnr. The pilot made the required procedure turn, but then realized that he did not have enough altitude to circle to runway 27. He landed on runway 18, nearly straight in, which is much shorter than runway 27. He ran off of the runway damaging the right propeller, snapping the right main gear scissor brace and collapsing the nose gear. The pilot exited unhurt.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN SMT FREIGHTER LOST AN ENG AND LANDED AFTER HAVING SUFFERED ACFT DAMAGE ENRTE.

Narrative: IN SUM: AN SMT PLT WAS FLYING ALONE AT DAWN IN A TWIN ACR FREIGHTER OP CARRYING COMPANY WORK. HIS L ENG OIL PRESSURE AND RPM DECREASED AND THE OIL TEMP ROSE. THE RPTR SHUT DOWN THE L ENG. HE ASKED ZAU TO POINT OUT THE NEAREST ARPT, LONE ROCK, WI, 15 MI TO THE N. THE ACFT WAS VERY NEAR MAX GROSS TKOF WT AND WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALT. THE PLT AT NO TIME DECLARED AN EMER, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS IN THE WX, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALT. HE WAS CLRED TO SHOOT A VOR-A APCH TO LNR, CIRCLE TO LAND RWY 27. THIS IS THE ONLY INST APCH AVAILABLE AT LNR. THE PLT MADE THE REQUIRED PROC TURN, BUT THEN REALIZED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH ALT TO CIRCLE TO RWY 27. HE LANDED ON RWY 18, NEARLY STRAIGHT IN, WHICH IS MUCH SHORTER THAN RWY 27. HE RAN OFF OF THE RWY DAMAGING THE R PROP, SNAPPING THE R MAIN GEAR SCISSOR BRACE AND COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR. THE PLT EXITED UNHURT.
