## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED MSP AND RETURNED FOR LANDING FOLLOWING INABILITY TO PRESSURIZE AIRCRAFT. CAPTAIN'S EMERGENCY ACCESS PANEL WAS FOUND DISLODGED--LIKELY OCCURRING DURING DEICING PROCEDURE. PANEL WAS SECURED AND OPS CHECKED GOOD. AIRCRAFT DEPARTED MSP ONCE AGAIN. ON CLIMB OUT, THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CLIMB POWER ABOVE 16,000 FEET; THE RIGHT POWER LEVER WAS ADVANCED TO THE MECHANICAL STOP. AT THIS TIME THE CREW RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO MSP WHERE THEY LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE RIGHT ENGINE POWER CONTROL CABLE OUT OF RIG. THEY RE-RIGGED THE CABLE AND FUEL CONTROL LINKAGES AND RE-TRIMMED THE ENGINE IAW THE DC-9 MAINTENANCE MANUAL. OPS CHECK DURING GROUND RUN WAS NORMAL.
