## 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.

Probable cause: Separation of the throttle cable sleeve during takeoff, which resulted an uncommanded engine power reduction and the pilot’s inability to control the engine throttle, and resulted in a forced landing.
