If so, inspect, modify, and/or replace engine throttle and mixture controls in accordance with Cessna Single-Engine Service Letter SE69-16 dated July 22, 1969.

(b) The airplane may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 to a location where this AD may be accomplished provided reduced mixture selection during flight is not performed and the throttle and mixture controls are determined to be functioning properly during preflight inspection of the airplane.

(c) An equivalent means of compliance with this AD may be used if approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Mid- Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas 67209; telephone (316) 946-4400.
