Compliance: Required within 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. To reduce the possibility of engine controls failure and loss of engine power control accomplish the following: (a) Visually inspect the ends of the engine throttle and mixture control cables to determine if the sleeve and bushing are secured by a drive screw. 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.
