Narrative:

We experienced a loss of oil pressure on the right engine. Oil temperature climbed over the maximum limit so I shut down the right engine and feathered its propeller. We declared an emergency and landed on runway at ZZZ. The airport fire department was standing by; but was not needed. The landing was a normal single engine landing that was uneventful. We had to be towed in as we could not taxi on 1 engine.
