## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING APPROACH TO SGJ RUNWAY 31 THE PILOT REPORTED A LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL AND SUBSEQUENTLY LANDED IN THE MARSH APPROX. 200 YARDS SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE VERTICAL FIN AND THE FIREWALL. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THE FAA PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ROD END ASSEMBLY CAME OFF THE BALL ON THE CARB. LINKAGE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
