What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Subject aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing on a golf course due to failure of engine throttle control cable.
Subject airman stated, he was conducting an instructional flight with a student and the aircraft was cleared to land at kcdw. During final approach as the airman was trying to increase engine power with the throttle control,the engine power setting would not move from idle. The flight instructor made several attempts to get a response from throttle input but the engine RPM stayed at idle. The flight instructor elected to make an emergency landing at an adjacent golf course.
The flight instructor stated he picked out a large fairway on the golf course to land and then went through the emergency check list procedures. The instructor landed the aircraft on the fairway without incident and the aircraft was secured.
The subject aircraft was towed to a FAA certificated maintenance facility at kcdw. Upon inspection of the aircraft it was noted the throttle cable outer casing had separated from the swagged end fitting near the carburetor ,rendering the cable unable to control throttle function. A service difficulty report has been filed by the maintenance facility.
