Answer
- B Shut down the engine and have the cause investigated
Explanation
Without oil pressure, bearings and pistons are not lubricated, and the engine can be seriously damaged in a short time. If the oil pressure does not rise within the time stated in the flight manual (often 30 seconds), you shut down the engine. Causes can be lack of oil, a faulty pump or a faulty indication.
