The loss of engine oil pressure during cruise flight, which resulted in partial loss of engine power and necessitated a forced landing. The loss of oil pressure was the result of a failed engine piston, likely initiated by foreign object damage, which resulted in the pressurization of the crankcase and expulsion of the engine oil.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
