Flight Crew Commercial
Aircraft Equipment Problem Critical
Flight Crew Returned To Departure Airport; General Maintenance Action
Aircraft
All engine indications were normal during takeoff roll and at about 1;000 AGL I noticed the oil pressure gauge indicating in the yellow and not responding as I adjusted the torque to 1;500 FT\LBS. I requested a return to the airport runway with Departure and was given radar vectors back to the airport. Oil pressure indications remained in the yellow during landing and taxi back to the ramp. I contacted Flight Following and Maintenance Control to advise them of the situation.
A C208 pilot returned to his departure airport when the engine oil pressure dropped into the yellow after takeoff.
