Narrative:

At cruise altitude we started getting right engine oil pressure warning. We performed the QRH procedures for right engine oil pressure warning. The message disappeared and we noticed that the oil pressure was low and varied between 32 and 42 psi. We tried to call maintenance on commercial radio with no response. While trying several times to contact maintenance, the warning reoccurred. The QRH procedures required us to perform the single engine shutdown procedures. We declared an emergency and with help from ATC we elected macon, GA. Unable to contact dispatch we asked ATC for runway information and verified landing distance in our performance charts. We concluded that there was sufficient runway length for landing and visual landing conditions were present. The flight attendant and passenger were informed of the situation and the diversion to macon. Upon landing, dispatch and maintenance were called to give them a status of the situation. We contacted company gate agent for deplaning the people. The passenger were then taken by bus to atlanta.

Title: A CL65 FLT CREW EXPERIENCES A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING RESULTING IN AN ENG SHUT DOWN AND EMER LNDG.

Narrative: AT CRUISE ALT WE STARTED GETTING R ENG OIL PRESSURE WARNING. WE PERFORMED THE QRH PROCS FOR R ENG OIL PRESSURE WARNING. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED AND WE NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW AND VARIED BTWN 32 AND 42 PSI. WE TRIED TO CALL MAINT ON COMMERCIAL RADIO WITH NO RESPONSE. WHILE TRYING SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT MAINT, THE WARNING REOCCURRED. THE QRH PROCS REQUIRED US TO PERFORM THE SINGLE ENG SHUTDOWN PROCS. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND WITH HELP FROM ATC WE ELECTED MACON, GA. UNABLE TO CONTACT DISPATCH WE ASKED ATC FOR RWY INFO AND VERIFIED LNDG DISTANCE IN OUR PERFORMANCE CHARTS. WE CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS SUFFICIENT RWY LENGTH FOR LNDG AND VISUAL LNDG CONDITIONS WERE PRESENT. THE FLT ATTENDANT AND PAX WERE INFORMED OF THE SIT AND THE DIVERSION TO MACON. UPON LNDG, DISPATCH AND MAINT WERE CALLED TO GIVE THEM A STATUS OF THE SIT. WE CONTACTED COMPANY GATE AGENT FOR DEPLANING THE PEOPLE. THE PAX WERE THEN TAKEN BY BUS TO ATLANTA.
