A Cessna 550 Citation II reported smoke in the cockpit and cabin during an aerial survey/photo mission. During the descent a low oil pressure warning was generated for the left engine, whereupon the crew reduced the power of this engine to idle.
The crew made an emergency landing at Groningen-Eelde Airport (GRQ/EHGG).
No reported injuries and the aircraft landed safely.
The Dutch Safety Board concludes that
• At first smoke penetrating the cabin and cockpit caused an emergency condition which forced the crew to use oxygen masks and to land as soon as possible.
Additionally, a few minutes later during the diversion a left engine low oil warning was observed.
• As for the LO OIL PRESSURE warning light which illuminated, without recorded engine oil pressure data it could not be analysed whether keeping the engine running (with reduced power) was in compliance with the checklist.
• Engine oil being expelled in the engine caused smoke in the cockpit via the air conditioning and pressurization system of the cabin.20 The smoke was the result of a failure in the engine, initiated by the distress of a bearing. The loss of engine oil resulted from secondary internal damage to the engine.
