## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT HAD TROUBLE RETARDING THE THROTTLE, LANDED AT AOO AIRPORT BY CLOSING THE MIXTURE CONTROL. PILOT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE FUEL SERVO AND FLOW DIVIDER WERE REMOVED AND REPAIRED. A GROUND RUN WAS CONDUCTED AFTER REPAIRS WERE MADE BY PENN AIR, INC. THE AIRPLANE WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
