Factual narrative

THE PLT WAS RETURNING TO KANSAS CITY, MO WITH NO CARGO ON BOARD AFTER DELIVERING CANCELLED CHECKS TO TULSA, OK. WHILE EN ROUTE, THE PLT NOTICED A SLIGHT DROP IN OIL PRESSURE. ABOUT 75 MI FROM HIS DESTINATION, HE NOTICED THAT THE OIL GAGE INDICATED BELOW THE GREEN ARC & HE DIVERTED TO THE JOHNSON COUNTY ARPT AT OLATHE,KS. THE PLT STATED THAT DURING THE APCH TO LAND, THE ACFT WAS HIGH & FAST, SO HE EXTENDED THE GEAR & FLAPS. HE INDICATED THE ENG QUIT AS THE ACFT WAS OVER THE APCH END OF THE RWY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT STALLED & LANDED HARD & THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THERE WAS ONLY 4 QTS OF OIL REMAINING IN THE 12 QT SYS. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN OIL LEAK. DURING AN OPERATIONAL CHECK, THE ENG RAN NORMALLY & THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATIONS WERE IN THE NORMAL RANGE. THE PLT STATED THAT DURING THE LANDING, HE WAS A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT LANDING ON THE SNOW & ICE COVERED RWY IN THIS SITUATION.
