WHILE EN ROUTE & ABOUT 15 MI FROM HIS DESTINATION, THE PLT NOTED THAT BOTH THE ENG RPM & THE OIL PRESSURE WERE DECREASING. SUBSEQUENTLY, HE MADE AN EMERG LANDING IN AN AREA OF SMALL TREES & BRUSH NEXT TO A SWAMP. AN EXAM OF THE ENG WAS MADE, BUT NO MECHANICAL FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER.
