## Narrative

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

(-23) THE ENGINE RPM DROPPED TO IDLE WHEN THE PILOT REDUCED POWER DURING TRANSITION FROM DOWNWIND TO BASE LEG WHILE LANDING AT A PRIVATE AIRPORT NEAR MT. VERNON, MO. THE PILOT STATED THAT THROTTLE MOVEMENT HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE POWER. THE PILOT CONTINUED TO THE RUNWAY AND LANDED HARD, COLLAPSING THE LANDING GEAR. THE COMMERCIAL PILOT AND HIS PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. ON-SCENE INSPECTION REVEALED APPROXIMATELY 20 GALLONS OF FUEL ON-BOARD. INSPECTION OF THE IN-LINE FUEL FILTER REVEALED A SMALL AMOUNT OF FIBERGLASS PARTICLES, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO RESTRICT FUEL TO THE ENGINE. THROTTLE LINKAGE WAS CHECKED FOR CONTINUITY WITH NO ABNORMALITY FOUND. THE AIRCRAFT OWNER WILL SEND THE ENGINE AND THROTTLE BODY TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR EXAMINATION. THIS REPORT WILL BE AMENDED IF RELEVANT INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ IS CLOSED PENDING NEW INFORMATION.
