## Narrative

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

ON SUNDAY THE 26TH OF NOVEMBER 2023 THE PILOT OF A CESSNA 182 SKYLANE WAS ON A SHORT FINAL FOR LANDING AT THE CASA GRANDE AIRPORT AFTER DROPPING OFF HIS SECOND LOAD OF PARACHUTISTS FOR THE DAY AND ATTEMPTED TO INCUREASE THE THROTTLE AND NOTICED THAT HE WAS NOT GETTING THE NORMAL RESPONSE , HE IMMEDIATLY ENRICHED THE MIXTURE AND VERIFIED THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS IN THE BOTH POSITION.
