What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On the afternoon of sept. 23, 1999, Cessna N60400, serial number 15070282, was on approach to the Galveston schols field airport. The aircraft lost power and made an emergency landing on a nearby roadway. Post inspection revealed that the nut which holds the throttle cable assembly to the carburetor was missing. This allowed the throttle cable to become disconnected from the carburetor thus allowing no control over engine power. The aircraft had received an annual inspection approx. 6.0 flight hours prior to the incident. The aircraft was not properly approved for return to service following the annual inspection.
